The only problem is Hong Kong is experiencing unseasonably cold weather and we did NOT pack for temperatures in the 40's and 50's...lol so much for escaping to warmer weather. Oh and did I mention our hotel has no heating - not very many hotels in Hong Kong do... we have spent a lot of time in Starbucks and other warm restaurants drinking lots of hot tea... We have not been very food adventurous - so far a bbq place, Pizza Hut and McDonalds. LOL! Food is a bit pricey - 1 large pizza was $30!
Went on an afternoon walking tour Tuesday to see a variety of markets. We traveled to the meet up point by subway and that was great. There were 7 of us crazy tourists braving the cold to see the flower market, the songbird market, a popular flea market (where I bought long underwear and scarves for B & me)and a 17 story high shopping mall. It was a fun guided tour, but B says he could have taken me to all those places at half the price...lol! Our tour ended at the huge mall and several of us went to a nice Chinese restaurant, Jasmine Garden. I had a fried rice dish and B has bbq pork - we ended up sharing, it was quite tasty.
We board the Volendam cruise ship later today - hopefully in search of sunshine and warmer weather, so I better get packing. Enjoy the photos, I will caption later:
