Hi  Now in HK.  So much to do so little time to tell.  Been by train into China.  Very much like Hk but weather has been overcast since we have been here.  Probably no chance of going to the Peak.  Been to Aberdeen - facinating harbour with the fishing fleet.  Also Stanley with very good market.  Been to 2 night markets and back and forth on the Star ferry.  Going on a very old fashioned tram today and hope to find the mid levels.  Hotel very good.  Whole place is not as crowded as we thought it would be, the underground is fast efficient and spotlessly clean (and cheap). Lots of buses and taxis everywhere and they are very cheap.  Markets are the best part as they seem to have all human life there.

It was rather a nightmare to find that my (MJW) luggage was not on the carousel at Hong Kong airport but Qantas gave us both an overnight bag containing toiletries and shorty pyjamas and because we were so tired (we had been up at 3.30 am NZ time so goodness know's what it was HK or UK time) we fell asleep quite quickly - me mentally making a note of all I could remember being in the case.  However, next morning was a message on the television and also by phone saying a package had been delivered - relief all round when my case was delivered.
