Day 4 in Hong Kong

Our jet lag is getting better - we slept in until 7:30am!  We spent the day on Hong Kong Island.  We caught the Star Ferry from Kowloon and then walked past all the skyscrapers to get to Hong Kong Park.

We then took the Tram up to The Peak - the tram is a funicular tramway from the Central district in Hong Kong up to Victoria Peak. Although it was quite hazy we still had nice views from the top.

When we came back down from The Peak we jumped on a ding ding tram to take us to the Sheung Wan area of Hong Kong.

We had a self guided walking tour of Sheung Wan which is the historic area of Hong Kong with lots of small alleys and roads with local shops selling dried seafood (which stunk!), Chinese medicines and antiques. There was a lot of hustle and bustle with people going about their every day lives and it was very interesting to see.  We stopped at a couple of temples and then moved on the the SoHo district where all the bars and restaurants are and stopped to have a well deserved drink as we had been on our feet all day!
