hong kong

we stayed at the amazing Mira Moon hotel, it was on Hong Island. Hong Kong
is wild, tall building everywhere, noise, smells, people
 






our view

the gym which I had every intention of using, I had the choice of working out for an hour then taking a shower OR go touring. Touring won out so I never worked out..but I walked a lot :)
 









so much shopping, but I didnt find it cheaper than the US. There were some things
I cant get in France so I bought those items.





bamboo scaffolding
this was the computer mall, we didnt find the prices being that much cheaper, there were some deals and you can bargain if you buy more than one item
this is a great place to get cheap plugs, extension cords etc..
crazy taxi drivers, this guy was taxi and Uber






so many things to buy but you have to understand what your buying

this was the fish market where you pick your fish then go to a restaurant and they cook it


these guys were just flapping around







sea snails



With Edwin and his family, he picked the fish and the restaurant




explaining how to pick crab

this was bamboo oyster

thats a finger cleanser not tea
 
 
we went shopping at Stanley market




we took the ferry across










We decided to move hotels to the Kowloon side

beautifully done laundry

our view

our British plugs



this thing was awesome you took it with you and set up your phone to the wifi and had wifi everywhere!
Tv in our bathroom
a nice greeting

 so spoiled with the laundry service here, I hope Michael doesnt get use to it:)


another gym I just photographed


the mall attached to the hotel

everyone wearing black and on their phone!







this was the main breakfast room, it was very cold but had an amazing spread







because the main breakfast area was so cold we decided to try the VIP lounge, it was much nicer



they knew our name and greeted us every morning



off we go





we found a lively church!

this was the church book shop
We met with Richard and his new wife Rhonda




we couldnt do anymore Chinese food











Michael watching Tv and getting ready
my taxi driver named "Wong Wai"


a champagne surprise for Michael's birthday
?



Michael was told to go to the Peninsula for an amazing view, it was amazing but it was also really expensive, I couldnt figure out how the young girl could afford this place. Michael checked his email and the meant the Panorama NOT Peninsula
we walked around then left

here we are at the panorama hotel with an amazing view

our last night, it has been an unforgettable trip

the restaurant was closed so we had to order bar food, it ended up being 150 euros! for bar food
we should have stayed at the Peninsula and had a nice meal for the same price


we are now at the airport in the business lounge, sad to leave

Bye bye hong kong, we will be back
