THE OLD MANOR HOUSE |
HONG KONG
I think by the time we got here we were all in 'God it is back to work next week' mode, so we saw the bad side of things too readily. The heat and humidity wasn't conducive to city sight seeing either. And we will never forget the restaurant pulling a big rubber pipe up the stairs through the second floor (where we were) and start pumping out the septic tank or drains. Pleasant it wasn't. The bad bits done with here are the great things..... We stayed in an hotel in Kowloon and took a trip to Hong Kong Island on the ferry. Also took a regular bus to a market somewhere miles away and felt quite proud of ourselves (Theresa mainly as she knows everything and we follow her!). Actually, if you got this far (truly amazing!) I'll share this joke with you as it is one of my all time favourites. Click here - let me know if you liked it! Funny wasn't it? That will have removed a few potential exchangers, hehe. Hong Kong Island and Victoria Peak in background>> Wonderful view of harbour from Victoria Peak <<Panorama view - click to expand I said it was a house boat but Theresa says it is a load of junk>> Famous Night Market. Bought an MP3 CD player. And so our journey around the world came to an end :( but there would be more trips to come...........
