Hong Kong:FREE DAY!!
No wake up call today so we could eat breakfeast when we wanted, and then do what we wanted. We started out by going to the Flower Market, a street where all of the flowers come into town, get processed and then delivered out to flower shops all over the area. The smells were great.
Then we went over tothe Bird Market. Small birds are popular pets because they don't take up much room and are easy to keep. There is an area, where people sell and trade small birds. Mostly older men. But they are very serious about their birds. It was fun towalk through the area and see all the different kind of pet birds.
Then we took a harbour cruise. Hong Kong has a great harbour front. Hundreds of boats and ships, and a great skyline. And since there were only 2 other people on the boat... no crowd!
Then we took the tram back up to the top of Victoria Peak. The views were great!. We took a stroll around the mountain, and then ate dinner and watched the lights of the city come on.
Yesterday was a travel day and today we are in Shanghai.
