Day 1

Helloooooo! So the internet's a little slow so I can't currently add pictures but today was SO busy! I woke up twice last night but not for long (just once to finish a game on Nancy Drew). So what we did today:


- Toast and tea for breakfast, sitting on Sarah's balcony, and overlooking Repulse Bay


-Bus to Times Squre- we looked forever for the jewelry market but to no avail. We did stumble upon this cute little market though. Katie thought this nightgown said 'Mature Looks Great.'


-Lunch at a japanese restaurant (fyi.an order of sushi in HK is made up of two rolls, not six)


-Walked over to Wanchai to try find the market where they sell frogs and reptiles (also couldn't find it)


-Took the MTR to Prince Edward Station where we went to the Flower Market, Bird Market, Goldfish Market, and another street market




- Took the MTR back to Central where we walked around for a little


-Took the Star Ferry across the Harbor 


-Bought some delicious British chocolate and looked at the view


-Wandered around past the Space Museum and the new Avenue of Stars (I think they're trying to make it like the Hollywood one except with all Chinese actors)


-Took the Star Ferry back across the harbor


- Walked to the Peak Tram and then waited in the super long line it


- Went to the sky view on top of the Peak, but instead of a view we were in a cloud


- Had dinner at a French Deli with a Tsing Tao


-Took the bus back down to Central and then to Repulse Bay


-Got home, figured out the internet password thanks to Sarah's brother Michael, then passed out!


Busy busy day! but so much fun! I've missed HK so much. It really is such a beautiful place.

  1. The reptile market is not in Wanchai but near the Flower market in Kowloon- I just can't remember which direction you have to walk when you come out of the MTR. The Jewellery market is also in Kowloon. In Wanchai you can go to the 2 lanes that I think are opposite Lane Crawford. Sounds like you had a busy day but lots of fun!
