Hong Kong Island

I set off for a walking tour of Hong Kong Island.

Unfortunately, after an hour of waiting around the tour never arrived! I did get some humour out of a church group trying to recruit me, only to have there hopes dashed as i had to inform them, their English leaflet was gobbledygook. Just random letters strung together to look like words. The lady was very upset, but she took my photo and everything was fine again.

I turned to my back up self guided tour off the Internet to fill my day. It was very enjoyable, I indulged my love of clocks and bought a pocket watch!

I went up the worlds longest outdoor escalator. visited the zoo and saw the baby orangautan's then up the cable car to Victoria peak to overlook the city on one side and bay on the other.

Here I bumped into Faye my old tour guide so we hung out for a bit, had a walk and said our goodbyes.

I had guessed that my flight was about three the next day. I was shocked to find it was actually half 10!  This left me in a mad rush at 9pm to get my boarding pass printed and my US dollars out.

It was touch and go for a while but I made it to Bangkok.
