We were up early today as it was check out day. We headed to the space museum first using our pass. It wasn’t as exciting as we had hoped, and nothing compared with what we saw in Seattle. A lot of the hands on things weren’t working properly and it seemed quite dated. So instead we headed over to the history museum which was more exciting! It took you through the Hong Kong story starting millions and millions of years ago. It was interesting to see how it ha...

Woke up much much much later than usual!! Determined to make the most of what was left of the day we headed out and towards the science museum! We grabbed some lunch on the way, in the form of noodles in soup! The museums offer a pass for $30 (about 2.50pounds) where you can enter any of them as many times as you wish within 7days. We decided on this as it was cheaper than paying for one entry! We ended up spending most of the day in there, what was left of it a...

Up late, again!! We caught the subway to Lantau Island. On the way we saw a bit more of Hong Kong as the train went above ground. Saw some of the shipping yards, they are huge! There are so many containers stacked up! We also had some lovely views of the sea and the mountains, never thought of it being so picturesque here, especially having been to Hong Kong Central! There is a small Disney land here too, and they have a special train going there with Mickey Mou...

We woke quite late again so didn’t end up getting out until late! We decided to go over to Hong Kong island, via the MTR subway. It is much easier than the subways we have used so far, and so clean, new and quick! We had a mooch around statue square, where there were some huge drums celebrating the East Asian Games which start in December. We also observed the very narrow double decker trams which have been working for over 100years. From there we went to the ...

We woke early, about 6am, but soon fell back to sleep until about 9am! We didn’t feel 100%! Great!! We headed out though, and to MCD’s for breakfast as we were both hungry and needed coffee, plus it’s just next door! Although feeling a little groggy, we headed down the main street in Kowloon for a mooch. The lower end near the harbour is known as the golden mile, similar to the one in Chicago, but very different here! As you walk along you think that it lo...
