Hello from Hong Kong!
We had a lovely morning touring Hong Kong. We went to Victoria's Peak, which overlooks Hong Kong and the harbor. It was impressive, however the ride up there was sometimes uncomftable - narrow winding road and big buses, trucks, etc.!
Then we were off to Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter, which is a harbor that provides shelter to the fishing boats during typhoons. We took a tour in a San Pan, a little fishing boat. Our guides told us that some people spend their entire lives on these boats, never stepping onto land.
After our boat ride we were taken to a jewelry factory. We were able to watch some pieces being made before being lead into the showrooms.
From there we went to Stanley Market. It's a semi open air market with many little gift shops.
Then came what Chris would say was the best part of the tour - a dim sum lunch. Being a little less daring than Chris, I probably didn't enjoy it as much as him but it was good.
Now we are fighting the desire to nap until this evening. At 8:00 we will walk down by the harbor and watch the laser show. Our guide says it's the largest in the world. We'll let you know how it is.
Connor and Glen,
We miss you both! Can't wait to tell you all about what we've seen and done.
Have fun and be safe. We love you!! INFINITY!
Tomorrow morning we fly to Changsha. Only 36 hours until Olivia time! Stay tuned. :-)
