Day 5 (02.06.2012). Having seen the main sights we decided to have a day out at the beach on Lantau Island. Not much to write about today. Nice relaxing beach times... warm sea.. swimming and kajaking were the main activities of the day. We returned back to Hong Kong Island at about 5pm. The boys went out to a house party and I went to a hen party with Cally. Fun times. After a much needed big sleep today (03.06.2012), we are packing and heading for food before ...

Hong Kong Day 4 (01.06.2012) Today began with a tram ride to the Statue Square and a walk to the pier whereupon we boarded the Star Ferry at $2 HKD aka 16p this little ride is a bargain and a tourist attraction in its own right.

Next stop the Hong Kong History Museum for a bit of...

After almost wilting upon exiting the flat we managed to grab some bread and set off on our first expediaition. It is soooo hot and humid here! First stop Lantau, Hong Kong's "green lung". After a short train journey from Hong Kong Station to Lantau we took a "crystal" (glass bottomed) cable car - Ngong Ping 360 - to the temple in the clouds visiting both the...

Woo finally arrived... Hong Kong 13:00. Jet lagged to the max.. It is sooo hot. Checked in at Coop and Cally's. Watch out Leila, Adam has a new friend: Bread!

Time for some sleep!
