Hong Kong

We spent one full day in Hong Kong before flying home. We got a quick overview of the city and tried all kinds of transportation.

We headed up to Victoria Peak via a double-decker bus.
The view going up the mountain was beautiful! 
But, I got a little sick and dizzy from the ride up the mountains.
We're talking instant death from a fall from those severe cliffs!
 After I recovered, Derek treated us to lunch.
Then, we went out and viewed the peak.




When we finished viewing the top,
we got on board the Peak Tramway,
and dropped down the mountain in minutes!
 Getting ready to fall down the mountain backwards:
After our stomachs joined us at the bottom,
we boarded a ferry and headed out across the water.
 We enjoyed it.
 This one? She slept through it.
We looked around the city and then headed to dinner.


Lastly, we took in the "Symphony of Lights" light show.
 Can you tell someone liked it?
After all the fun, we hit the subway at 9 p.m. and returned to our hotel around 10 p.m.
Then, it was showers for everyone and last minute packing time.
The following morning we got a taxi and arrived at the airport nice and early.
Off to the USA!
(It was SO nice to split up the trip home
with the travel to Hong Kong being on a different day
than the international flight!)
