Wow!! What a day! We've learnt a huge amount today. Firstly (hard though this may be to believe) - we've changed our definition of good coffee. We now believe that coffee served anywhere that is air-conditioned is GOOD coffee - no pavement coffee for us here!!. 33 degrees and 91% humidity has led us to this opinion. We have arrived home exhausted after doing the harbourside walk, the fabulous history museum with amazing permanent history displays as well a a current special display of the clothing worn by the emperors; travelled by the inredible metro system to the Buddist garden; went to canon to buy a new camera lense; back on the metro to the star ferry ride over to the island and then back for the laser light display. We were guided around Hong Kong by the delightful Ms Lai ("come quickerly" and "stay with me and we won't get lost"), followed by same nice bar and staff (is there a pattern emerging?) for a whisky and light meal before getting back to the room at about 10.30 local time. Plan to go back over to the Island tomorrow and up to the peak. This will be our last day in Hong Kong (until our return trip) and as we leave for Istanbul at 1.00am Wednesday, I'm afraid there will be no blog for day 3 - we will be back in touch on Wednesday night - first night in Istanbul.
