Hong Kong Day 1

Max, Just for you. This is in a gift shop at the peak!



The view from our hotel

Today, Russ and I woke up around 4:30 am. We tried to get some more sleep, But it wouldn't come. So we decided to get up and get a shower and find something for breakfast. So, But 7am we went to the front deck to ask about breakfast, They asked if we wanted to eat at the hotel. We already went to where we thought the breakfast was and it was closed, anyway...needless to say, we were on the wrong floor looking for food. We ended up in a Lounge! lol It was nice though. It looked like your ordinary Western Kitchen with tables and chairs set up very nice. No BAR like I was thinking. lol Anyway. We had a nice breakfast with Eggs, bacon, fruit, toast, cereal, apple or orange juice..I could go on about breakfast. but I think you get it. After breakfast we got directions to shopping. We took an outdoor escalator from our hotel downtown to the IFC Mall, "It's Better!" Then we took a cab to the peak tram and took the tram to the top of victoria peak and got some very nice bird's eye photo's of Hong Kong. Then we walked around hong Kong and found a very pretty park and got lot's of photos there. Then took a scenic walk back to the hotel. Now we are here resting up and getting out of the humidity! Did we say how humid it is here?? I got sick this morning and didn't think I was going to make it out of the potty cause of this heat! anyway... I am drinking lot's of WATER.

Enjoy yourselves but TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES too!!! I'm hoping that it was the heat making you feel sick and nothing else. Don't wait around seeking medical treatment, if you still feel badly get it in Hong Kong where you have more of a chance of being able to fully communicate with the doctors.

and LOVE the photos - wish we had gotten a chance to explore Hong Kong more. The bridge from the airport to the rest of the city was featured on Extreme Engineering show once. :)

Have a MAGICAL day at Disney!!!!

So glad you guys made it and are doing well. Keep drinking water! Remember to also drink Sprite or Gatorade too. Those will help your electrolytes where water won't.
We miss you guys and can't wait until you get home. In the meantime, enjoy your trip and bring me back something nice. :)
