Hong Kong in a nutshell

Jeesh were we tired when we got to HK, we had done about 40 hours without sleep so when we got to James and Weenies'aparment it was time to crash. No so, James came home early from work to meet us so a little bit of conversation was in order. Celia neatly excused herself and slipped out the room for 40 million winks.

Weenie made us a fabulous dinner and we cracked open one of many bottles of Meerlust Rubicon that James had very generously bought. The evenings we had there were generally spent at the Hoing Kong Football Club (where james and Weenie are members) munching on burgers or tasting Weenies interesting cooking (joking).

Days just flew by as we were so shattered we tended to wake up around noon and get our the house a 1:30, only to return again at 6. All our attempts to go sightseeing in HK were severely thwarted by the sandman. We did manage to catch the peak tram to get a view of the city and harbour which is very impressive from up there, the ferry to Kowloon at sunset allows you geat views like this one, Wan chai wet market was something else too. To prove the fish are fresh they slice them half open at the spine and leave all the organs intact so the heart is still pumping and the head is wondering what the hell.. its is really unbelievable to see.

Weenies dad was also there at the time and we wen out with him for lunch on the Sunday to Cococabana near the Marina Park yacht club and SA embassy. It was a fantasic meal and one of my top 5 of our tip so far. We had another ice ceam for desert as this seems to be the thing we now do on our trip. Not sure why but after were were intoduced o XTC ice cream in HK we never looked back. We were very tired on this day as James had inoduced me to another whole world of partying Hong Kong style. Fliday and Saturday night involved dinner, and many drinks in the university town atmosphere that is generated my the sports club dinners and drinks. On the Saturday night 5 of us ended up in Wan Chai dancing on bar counters till the early hours. What a night! Thank you James!!
