HK: Day 7

Probably the most tiring to date...

We left the flat at 10ish this morning, and just stepped in at 10:15pm. We were out for 12 hours today folks. It's safe to say I'm pretty tired.

So we took the subway to Central, then bused to Stanley where we did what we do best... shop and eat. Stanley is a pretty touristy place. You can tell cuz there's white people everywhere! As tourists, Stanley was the best place for us to buy souvenirs. Opportunity to practice haggling skills.

Today was pretty much all about the sights and views of Hong Kong. At Stanley/Central, the view of the water was amazing. My sister described it as the Hamptons of HK, as it is by the beach. The beaches were pretty crowded because it was a holiday (Buddha's birthday). Everywhere we went there were hoards of people. Heat + Sweat + People = Sticky Situation...

After a very long and nausea-inducing bus ride, we made it back to Central. We chilled at a place where my cousin's friend tends bar. Such a sweet atmosphere. My family and I were just about the only ones in the joint, and it was nice just to lay back, sit, and enjoy some A/C.

A while later, we took a tram headed to the Peak to check out more sights of Hong Kong. The view was amazing. By the time we got up there the sun had set, so the city lit up and looked so beautiful.

Our day didn't stop there...
Took another nausea-inducing bus ride back to central, but instead of subway-ing back to Lok Fu, we took the ferry to Kowloon. So much motion sickness in one day! I'm glad I didn't throw up over the side of the ferry...

Finally, we're back in Lok Fu, and before we go back to the flat, we eat a late dinner. Mmmmmm... pho..... Though admittedly it's not as good as B&T somehow.

That brings me to the end of my day. It really was a lot more tiring than I'm making it sound I think... Believe me, I'm sitting half dead on the couch right now as I'm writing. Need to take a quick shower and get to bed. Gooooood night!!
