The Harbor was filled with boats, the container side was an immeasurable size. The density of EVERYTHING is not to be explained by anything in our American experience.

We were so tired! And ready for American food: Outback,,,it worked for us.
Restaurants are often up at least one floor above streets. If you look out of
Had a very nice morning tour in the tiniest minivan you've seen. Up to Victoria Peak on an 108 year old tram that has never had an accident...hmm.
At the top we say views of the harbor that defy description
The jade factory was not nearly as informative as the one in Longchau and we escaped without buying anything, but we did find this GREAT sign! Enlarge it and read it...
The Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon lived up to its elegant reputation and we had an elegant hi tea there...we had missed lunch so Tom bypassed the cute sandwiches and tiny sugary treats and had their Giant Hot Dog...we gave him a little grief, and then tasted it...it was good and definitely an experience not to be missed
Friday we got Ferry tickets and went to a fishing village on the island of Cheung Chau.
This outlying island approximately a mile long and quite narrow is inhabited by 40,000busy people. We walked to the highest point ( naturally)
Where we joined the kids from the British International school on their field trip.
Had lunch...prawns/fried blue crab AND a whole fish...quite the messy finger food and a lot of work for dabs of fish. Those are working/living boats behind us.
Met the wedding party on the Ferry back
