Mol and I have been hitting the highlights of HK using just about every form of transport available. First, we took a ride on the double decker tram (like a SF streetcar). The trams are tall and skinny. Everything in this town is very vertical. The skyscrapers. The mountains. The people. Ok, maybe not the people...
Next, we toured the beautiful Hong Kong park and took a walk through the forest canopy in the aviary. Then, we took a ride up the mountain in the Peak Tram (like a SF cable car). The view of the top is amazing (pics coming soon).
Back in town, we crossed the harbor on the Star Ferry. Then took a tour on a Junk Boat. Back to mainland for some chinese food at a classic Chinese diner. And then a couple drink stops at some posh clubs. A taxi got us home in record time. Even though it's not a tram, he drove it like it was on rails.
A quick ride on the ultra modern metro will take us back to the airport, as we prepare for the longest day ever. 16 hours of flying later, we'll be back in the U.S. for some clean underwear (or pants as the Brits call them). Woohoo!
