2009 Hong Kong

Leaving Cyrpus from Larnaca airport we flew to Bahrain airport and then onto Hong Kong. We have found Hong Kong to be an amazing City, with incredible views from Kowloon across the bay to Hong Kong Island.

We walked down to the harbour and joined the tour that sails around the harbour which gives great views of the Laser light show from the skyscapers either side.

A must for any visitor is a trip up to "The Peak" by means of a very steep cable car, the views from the top are simply breathtaking. In the evening we caught the Metro system up to the market areas and strolled around looking at the clourful sights and boisterous noise of this unique area.

Day 2.
We took a trip over to Hong Kong Island and wandered around the street markets, which are full of colour, noise and the locals doing their daily shopping. We spent some time in the South Seas Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, the Cafe de Fontaine has a good selection of beer and food.

Day 3.
On our final day a thick fog enveloped the city and gave the skyscrapers a ghostly appearence as they tried to break through the haze.
