69 Mody Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui E, Hong Kong, China
Slept in quite late but just made it downstairs in time for the end of their breakfast buffet. Back up stairs to our room to pack then caught a cab to the airport (VERY hazy but this was only Medium pollution level - would hate to be here on a bad day!). Then caught the plane home again! Arrived home late, unpacked, then took photos of all our k...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsSlept in so late we ended up just having lunch instead of breakfast at Delifrance. More shopping: this time a little suitcase (to carry all the stuff we've bought), and some shoes for both Jeff and Sherry. Walked through the rest of the Ladies Markets, including stall-holders who chase you down the street to offer you their stuff at half the pri...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsJeff's fourth and last day of training. Not a very successful day for Sherry today. Seemed that everything I went to look at was either not that great or I couldn't even find it! Started off by heading over to the tourist office to pick up another couple of maps for me and Tracey as I'd lost mine somewhere or other. This was near the Start Ferry...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsJeff's third day of training. Today Sherry did her very best to become a molten pile of wax on the pavement by walking around in the heat and humidity for most of the day! Decided to head up past Mongkok via the Prince Edward (no... not Prince Albert) station and check out a couple of less touristy markets that don't stay open as long. First sto...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsJeff's second day of training. I (Sherry) went on a tour to Lantau island today, which first included a stop at the Avenue of Stars next to Victoria Harbour (where I saw Jackie Chan's handprints) and then to a wholesale jewellery showroom where I may have "slipped" and bought a diamond pendant. Oooopps. It was 50% off if that's any excuse. 8 ) A...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsJeff's first day of training so off to work for him and off to play for Sherry! After booking a tour to Lantau island for the next day and attempting to book one to Shezhen for Sa**************ed off in search of the famous Sam's tailor on Nathan Road. Found this very easily and had soon signed up for 2 pairs of trousers and 5 shirts. Took in on...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsBreakfast at the Charlie Brown café - the food range was a bit limited, but they made up for this with a very extensive range of Snoopy merchandise! We took the subway and then a bus to Ocean Park on the Southern side of HK island. We thought it was going to be good - in fact, we were contemplating not going to Disneyland and just visiting Ocean...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsUp early @ 6.40am with lots of good intentions to get going ... but then fell asleep again until 8.00am. Bought Octopus cards each and discovered the world of the cheap and wonderful HK subway! Makes it so easy to get around and the aircon is just beautiful! Made our way to HK Disneyland: an exceedingly clean amusement park, very well laid out, ...
A travel blog entry from Hong Kong by robsonsFlew overnight from Perth to HK & arrived here at 8am. We both slept a little during the flight but feeling very tired! At HK airport, we bumped into Peter Oldham, a guy we used to work with at BankWest Belmont & hadn't seen for probably 15 years! He's now working for one of the casinos here, managing their internal banking operations. T...
