Thought we'd spend some time finding different modes of transport, so today, we have mostly been travelling on escalators! This city has the most amazing system of escalator ladders which bring the population down to central HK from 6am to 10am, then they reverse for the rest of the day, and take people upwards until midnight! What a system! You can go miles.
Also visited the Peak (highest point) by funicular-style tram train, to look down on the skyscrapers from above. Wow! Were so taken with all the ups and downs, missed out on meals - ended up grabbing a McDonalds before the "Symphony of Light" show across the bay! Really must try harder tomorrow!
But we Did get a good flavour of HK the last couple of days....
That's the second McDonalds in two days! What is happening to you two - this is supposed to be an epicurean expedition... not a e-numbers eat-a-thon!
ReplyDeletePlease, for the sake of the planet, go and eat some pickled pigs trotters or something! Xx
Don't worry it was a pig McTrotter in a rice noddle bun that we had! Did too much exploring and ran out of energy just at the time that we'd also run out of time before the light show. Poor planning I'm afraid.
