We are out early for the Hotel shuttle which drops us near the Peninsula Hotel, the oldest hotel in Kowloon, a very grand affair that makes our place look like the YHA. We join a trip that takes us to the funicular that climbs steeply to the peak. It always seems strange going uphill in a train, and this goes up at 45 degrees in places. The views from the top are magnificent, even so we seem to be barely higher than the highest skscrapers that flank the harbour.
Views from the Peak across Hong Kong harbour to Kowloon, New Territories and China.
Next we visit Stanley market at Repulse Bay on the far side of Hong Kong Island where Sue discovers a Salvation Army charity shop.
We take a sampan ride to view the floating village and working boats. The Jumbo Floating Restaurant is very impressive from the front ...
...less so from the rear.
In the evening we watch the impessive light and sound show across the harbour
and catch the shuttle back to the hotel.
