Day 33 – Hong Kong
Woke up with a cold, hope it goes before the flight home, air travel is uncomfortable enough.
Caught the bus then the tram to Causeway Bay and wandered around the shops. I had priced Ipads and cameras just to compare – turns out that cameras like Nikon and Canon DSLRs are quite a bit cheaper in Australia. Ipads are about $30 – $50 cheaper here depending on the model, but I don’t need one anyway. I don’t think Hong Kong is the shopping destination it used to be.
Had a very average lunch, then Song went back to the hotel to meet a friend she used to go to school with, and I stayed in the city for a while just wandering.
Since there was nothing I needed to buy I got a bit bored so went back to the hotel and watched TV. I’ve been to Hong Kong a few times so have done all the touristy stuff like the Peak Tram.
Headed out to another restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel – another 3 Michelin hat one. This was a chinese restaurant and we had lots of shared dishes – roast duck, pork belly, prawns, Wagyu beef etc. Very good, but not as good as Caprice.
Didn’t have room for dessert so skipped that and went back to the hotel.
We fly out at 20:30 tomorrow so will spend the day in Kowloon, shopping (don’t think we’ll be buying anything though).
This may be the last post – we fly direct to Melbourne, arriving around 07:00 on Wednesday morning. It’s Qantas flight 30, leaving Hong Kong at around 20:30 Tuesday night Hong Kong time if you want to track it.
Tune in next year for more exciting adventures of Andy and Song where we hope to visit Istanbul (not Constantinople), Prague, Bucharest, Warsaw and some other East European cities we haven’t decided on yet.
