We finally arrived in a very hot Hong Kong after a 5 hour bus ride, 16 hour overnight train, walking across the hong kong and china border for a hour, and a 10 minute taxi ride to our hotel - West hotel..
The first thing we noticed once across the border was a sign saying no spitting fine 1500 dollars... absolutely fantastic! it was a welcome relief not to have to hear heckling every minute, i swear they did it on purpose when they seen me coming..
Hotel was fab too, no squat / drip dry toilets to be found anywhere... found it quite odd to have a seat again lol
Anyhow headed out that night to the light show that is on each night at the harbour... small bit cheesy but hey we love a bit of that now and again, basically the lights all did their thing on each of the big buildings, the city is well cool and the buildings even more so...their lecky bill must be huge though and theres me with my enery saving lightbulbs at home...sod that!
The shopping is the best ever (surprise surprise) and the electronic section is fab.. we headed up to Victoria peak then after for the views over the city and oh my god... that was amazing, you can get the ferry across to it for nice rosemantic atmosphere as well!
heading to thailand now for some island hopping so keep you posted...
love d&g
