First Day in Hong Kong (4th August 2007)
Today was our first day 90 to go. We arrive at Hong Kong airport resonably fresh after sleeping for 5 to 6 hours of the 12 hour flight from Auckland. Lie flat beds are brilliant.
Airort was not busy and we breezed thru customs picked up a cab to the Intercontinental and they had no record of our bookings. There are two intercontinentals in Kowloon and we were at the wrong one. Having arrived at 9.00am we only had to wait for half an hour to get access to our room which overlooks the Harbour. When I work out how I will post some photos.
This afternoon we took a 5 hour tour of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Island including a trip up Mount Victoria with some fantastic views of Hong Kong and then to Aberdeen the "fishing village" which included a trip on a sampan, the to Stanley markets and home.
Dinner was at an authentc chinese restaurant where we were the only Westerners.
