Pitstop: Biltong Factory, Heildelberg
Our first pitstop on the way to Kysna. This little place sold a curious combination of Biltong and knives. Nice.
Wandering Around
After finally getting some rest we managed to drag ourselves out of the hotel and have a walk around the area. We didn't plan anything for the first day. Instead we just walked around and headed in directions that looked interesting. The first thing that struck me was how densely packed the buildings are. Hong Kong is a vertical city covered in towering buildings both old and new. There was a market which had cool looking fishmongers and butchers. Although I couldn't resist going into the bookmakers and snapping a picture of a large group of gamblers eagerly watching a horse race. Near to Causeway Bay we stumbled across a massive parade of Muslim women who were celebrating the beginning of Ramadan. It definitely had a carnival atmosphere. After that, we managed to jump onto a the Star Ferry which is a very frequent (and cheap) ride to get off Hong Kong island and onto Kowloon. We managed to get to Kowloon Park which is very different to a European park...
