We arrived Hong Kong safely and no dramas - in fact half an hour ahead of schedule.
The trip was great, we watched 2 movies each. It was good wind down time after the busyness of getting ready.
Met by Marg's cousin Helen and her husband Nick. Staying in their 13th floor apartment overlooking the Harbour. For Hong Kong standards, very spacious - it has 4bedrooms, plus an area behind the kitchen where the Nanny lives. HK has 6 million people in an area of 1100 square kilometres. The density of high rise buildings resembles a lego land - one on top of the other. Given our spaciousness in north central Victoria it is quite overwhelming.
Had a great day Sunday - junk ride over to Lamma Island where we disembarked for a seafood lunch. Weather was 26 deg C and humid.
Took a tram ride up to the Victoria Peak and back, then went for Yum Cha and in the afternoon shopping at Stanley Market. The girls had a great time - overawed by all the stalls and spent most of their HK dollars.
The girls have enjoyed swimming each afternoon with their cousins.
Departing Thursday morning for London - will arrive 2.30am (EST) Friday morning.

great to hear from you. glad you're having a good time. It is a bit mind-blowing thinking of so many people in such a small area.

Sounds wonderful! Bet the food is fantastic. You will be in London very soon and seeing your family there. Pretty amazing how close everything appears to be these days, when you only left here not even a week ago, and already had some great experiences! Keep having fun, Mary xx
checked the birdies, cookie and biscuit are doing well.
love from Gordo, sue and girls
