HK Views

We had some great weather  whilst in HK, and it was a warm and fine 30 degrees on the day we wandered around Hong Kong Island and took the tram up to see impressive views from Victoria Peak. 

On the Victoria Peak Tram

This building was in BatMan returns

We called this building the Transformer's legs towers

Along the Harbour -- The HK Wheel

Bruce Lee in the Garden of Stars. 

A mission for Jackson who wanted a G-Shock direct from the source. 

Getting around

A pedestrian crossing fairly early in the morning.

...and then the traffic snarled and we picked our way between 3 double decker buses. (The transport is as vertical as the real estate)

On a very steep escalator

 

Across the harbour on the Star Ferry...

Up to Victoria Peak on the tram/funicular. 

Anime seat covers on the double decker bus.

Street views

Two views of the street from the bridge between our hotel and Langham Place Mall -- a massive 9 level mall open until midnight! 

Ocean Park Day

Part of the interest in Hong Kong as a stopover, was Ocean Park: one of the best theme parks in Asia. 

The Hair Raiser was the biggest draw of all!

Stealth, home-made, MacGyver Go Pro

.... and PANDAS! Red Pandas....

and proper Pandas!

Decorative Pandas...

This gondola connected the upper park  (all the best  rides) with the lower park ( the animals)

It was a really awesome day!!

Markets during the day

Given the short period of time we had in HK, and the fact that we regularly got lost as we looked for all the different markets.... we saw a few. 

The Toy Market

Ladies Market

The Goldfish Market

Fa Yuen Street

Sneaker Street

Night markets

We went to the Ladies Market, right around the corner from our hotel, and Scott and I went further one night to see the Temple Street Night Market.

The fortune tellers are a draw at the Temple Street Market...
