Today I had another big day, and it was yet again great!
I started out by headed to the other side of the river to pick up my camera. All fixed, and got an extra 6 months warrantee. Thank you Hong Kong Nikon. Bloody legends.
Then I headed back to the Island, via the ferry. It was cool to see the city from the water, and it was actually cheaper than the subway!! I walked all the way from the office tower to the river, which was about an hour, and there were so many awesome things to see!!
Man Mo Temple was a little bit boring, just very smokey from all of the incense from people hoping for a good New Year, but I guess maybe I've just been spoiled for temples over the last couple of months.
I then went to the Victoria Peak. Now THAT was awesome. There was a tram that went straight up the side of the mountain at an improbable angle with an incredible view, and from the top, there was a huge shopping centre. (of course, it's Hong Kong)
The view from the top was amazing. I timed it so that I got to see it in full sunlight, the sun setting over the beach, and all of the city lights lighting up the skyline.
I also got to use their wifi to catch up with some friends from home which was beautiful. I've missed them.
The bus back was honestly better than the tram though, with amazing views from both sides, and it dropped me off just a few blocks from the hostel.
Tomorrow, an island adventure xx
