We were wide awake at 3:30am and could not get back to sleep so it was an early start today. We went down for breakfast at 6:30am and were out the door by 8am (it felt like lunch time to us at this point!). We walked up to Kowloon Park and strolled around - it was a calming contrast to the busy streets and there was lots of people doing Tai Chi in the park - it was very relaxing to watch! The park is huge and has a sculpture park, an aviary, a maze and even flamingos!
We then walked up Nathan Road, which is one of the main streets in Kowloon and is a mecca for shopping - we thought London was busy until we walked up Nathan Road - I have never seen so many people! We ventured in to some of the side streets, which gives you an idea of how people in Hong Kong live, including a visit to a day market selling all sorts of fruit and vegetables.

In the afternoon we visited the Hong Kong History Museum which told you about the history and culture of Hong Kong which we both found interesting. By this time we were flagging so back to the hotel for a rest before we went to the Temple Street night market. The atmosphere at the market was really buzzy but we weren't tempted to buy anything! In the evening we went to Knutsford Terrace which is a little street full of all different restaurants with tables outside and a really nice vibe - we had the well known chinese dish called pizza!
