In the Fragrant Harbour

In the Fragrant Harbour

We're in Hong Kong for a long weekend, and have so far spent a few days in the city. We've gone to Stanley for a shopping raid at the market, which resulted in several costumes to play dress-up with. We have also taken the peak tram up to Victoria Peak, although the view was slightly limited due to the weather.

Yesterday we went on the Star Ferry across to Kowloon, but the waiting line for high tea at The Peninsula was beyond ridiculous so we did not stay for a nibble there. We settled for a more regular 'fika' at the neighborhood Starbucks instead. At least there was no line there... Dinner was found in SoHo at an italian place we found last time we came to Hong Kong for vacation.

Today we'll finish off the stay here on Hong Kong island and regroup for the final part of the trip. We're going to Disneyland!
