Day 5 - Hong Kong





What a awesome place Hong Kong is!!! Yesterday after getting up I was determined to get my bearings for the place and I did. I sorted out how to use the tube and get to where ever I wanted. My first stop was Victoria Peak, this place had the most amazing view! I caught the most steepest tram I have ever caught (I'm sure a couple of the gradients were close to 45 degrees) and once I got to the top had lunch, and took in the view (a 360 degree view of Hong Kong) it was absolutely amazing! I took heaps of videos and photo's so I will upload in the next couple days. After spending about an hour and a half there I took the tram ride back down and walked to the Hong Kong botanical and Zoological gardens. Yet another amazing place! a awesome garden in the middle of a concrete jungle. There are also heaps of monkeys and those little lemma's from Matagasca (I kept singing "We like to move it, we like to MOVE it" every time I was looking at them (yes singing it to myself out loud) and I also saw pink flamingo's which were cool.

After that I went back to Causeway bay (Where Shelley lives and where I'm staying) got a bite to eat at this random little restaurant and they sat me down at this little random table for one which was so little i felt like I was sitting in a baby chair! from there, came home read my book and fell asleep as I was pretty tired from my day so far and knew I still had the 7's to attend once Shelley got home from work.

Shelley got home and before we knew it we were at the 7's! what a amazing atmosphere! We didn't dress up as it's Friday and we just wanted to be casual. Watched the Australian ladies win there final. Come Saturday - dressing up is on!

After that Shelley took me to this really cool rooftop bar called redbar, it was really windy but the bar it self and the view from there was amazing! really awesome!

Home and in bed by 12.30am! big day ahead with the 7's!

Thoughts of Hong Kong so far! -Amazing! I can see why Shelley lives here, everything is so easy and you have the option of doing everything on the cheap or expensive.

anyway, till tomorrow - will hopefully get some video and photo's up for you in the next couple days.
