Hong Kong October 16th, 2009
I’m loving this place!! What an amazing city! I would live here tomorrow if I could! I haven’t even been here a whole 24 hours but I have fallen in love with the place!!
Were stopping on Hong Kong island and our hotel is on the side of a mountian, well actually the whole of the island Is a mountian and it’s covered with sky scrapers! To get down to the shopping area from our hotel you have to use a bank of escalators that run for about 2 miles up and down the mountian! It takes about 15 mins to get from the top to the bottom!! It’s crazy but works really well. Andy and I were so shattered today after yesterdays travelling antics (long story) that we litrally had breakfast and then spent a few hours exploring the shopping area and finding a starbucks
we then went swimming and spent a couple of hours chilling out by the pool. Were just getting ready now to go out for some food and then I think were going to chillout in our hotel room and use the free wifi to research a way to get us to Thailand. I think tomorrow were going to get a ferry across into mainland Hong Kong and see some of the tourist sights!!
I’m really loving travelling! The first week was a bit up and down while I adjusted to it but I’m really loving it now. It’s going too fast though!!! I don’t want it to end, I’m really chilled out and stress free!! I’ve almost forgotten what my life was like before I started travelling it’s weird but this just feels right!! I’m loving it!!!
