A Brilliant Last Day


Hong Kong has exhausted us! We have walked miles, experienced the city from the Star Ferry, a junkboat tour of the harbour at night including the laser show, a bus to The Peak, and from the MTR metro. The city is staggering for its size, the height of the buildings, the magnificent views, the sheer variety of cuisines, the friendly people, and the unbelievable cleanliness (no graffiti anywhere).
We have had a wonderful time with Gaynor and Atholl, and their lovely friends Holly, Michael and baby William. Gaynor, you are an expert tour guide and we couldn't have asked for a better finale than the Thai/Malaysian meal tonight, outdoors at a table on a serious slope (how many times did the beer nearly slide off the edge?)..........what a meal!!
So we are now heading back to the hotel to pack. It's an early start tomorrow and we have been warned that we may freeze when we reach the UK. It was a comfortable 25C today in HK with clear blue skies.
We have many lasting memories of three fun packed weeks and feel lucky to have experienced so much in such a short time.
We also have some thoughts to share with you all, to follow soon.............
