The Long Way Home

In 5 weeks we visited the North of France by Road via Amsterdam, Scotland by Road, Austria via Munich, then we did the long way home via Rome and Hong Kong. This was One Fanatastic Trip, way too much driving, but What a Trip. One to Remember.

Hong Kong - Day Four - Relaxing Day

The View from the Hotel showed what Hong Kong is About. Buildings and not much else. Today we wanted to explore Hong Kong So we hopped into a Ding Ding. We relaxed and went We rode past the big Building we saw the other day on the cruise Todays Target was Man Mo Temple. 1800s temple featuring a lavish, traditional interior with dozens of incense spirals overhead. We arrived at Mam Mo Temple. and there weren't the crowds as expected As the description stated it placed full of Insense. and Lots of it After that went to the Conference Centre to see  the site of the British handover and found the place was not expected. We found that the Mainland is manulating the story, to modified history to suit themsleve. Hong Kong is a busy City build  on hardwork and enterprise. The hotel view was exceptional.  On the way to the Airport we passed the Port. and we ended the day at the Airport.

Hong Kong - Day Three - Hong Kong East

The Hong Kong Temple was the primary target for the trip. This morning ours we were at the Hong Kong Temple This was the Last Target and we hit the mark on all of them. The Temple was different from others  as it is s[pread across muiltple floors. This waterfall was inside the Temple Gardens  which was not visibale from the outside this is all that the local know about the Temple. After this we went back to the Hotel and chnaged. Hong Kong markets were open and we wanted to explore them. First was the Flower Market. The Bird Market was next After this long walk Jennfer to rest so we grabbed some food fromt he supermarket We took the Ding Ding back to the Hotel the Ding Ding are double deck Trams. I had some shellfish that were freshly cooked. and Jennifer had some fruit. I went for swim in the pool at the Hotel. The views from hotel was amazing at night. A great way to Finish the Day.
