With a little help from the front desk guy, we made our way by bus, then subway, then another bus to a place called The Peak. It's got the best views in Hong Kong. There are restaurants and shopping and a viewing area as well as residences and walking paths. The bus we took from the subway station up there was a great deal (which we love), but as soon as we pulled away from the bus stop, this guy was driving like a manhattan cab driver. As we were going thorough the city, it reminded me of a James Bond movie. Very hilly, very busy, twisty roads, tropical trees, and many foreigners. I think the bus driver also thought he was in a Bond movie because he was driving like someone was chasing him on these steep, curvy roads. It's always an adventure!
Everyone is very nice and helpful here and most people speak English, which makes our life a little easier:)
Here are some pics from The Peak
We ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co for dinner. We are done with Asian food for a while:) The fried shrimp po'boy was yummy as were the French fries and COLD beer (china is not into cold drinks so much). Sam loved his popcorn shrimp!
Our view
Went up top
It was pretty awesome to see!
Ready for bed and to get on an airplane in the morning!! (It will be 8:00pm Friday in Atlanta, and we will get there 2:40pm Saturday).
