Our first day in Hong Kong has been busy. We went to Hong Kong Island and walked for miles. All up hill too. We were trying to find the longest escalator in the world - we did and it was nothing special, a little bit boring if I'm honest, but finding it was fun.
The Peak Tour was ace!
It was quite scary going up on the tram and the skyscrapers looked as if they are leaning in due to the angle at which we were going up the mountain. When we got to the top the clouds had covered the view! We had a photograph super imposed onto a backdrop of the skyscrapers. Sods law that when we got to the bottom the cloud cleared. I did get to eat a burger king in the clouds though. We also vistied the botanical gardens, SoHo and BoHo.
I was so tired when we got home that I went to bed and woke up at 1.30pm unable to sleep, sO we went out for a few beers as Hong Kong never sleeps. On the was home at 4am there was a amazing thunder storm.
I tried fresh squid and fish balls they were awful!

I would love to go back; to see if the magic is still there. I bought a multi-journey ticket for the MTR,and used it all the time; plus there is no better way to cross the harbour than by Star Ferry. You have perked me up with all your experiences!
