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

Saucy Portions

We headed out into the dense and crowded city yesterday to do some exploring and sample some local delights. Our morning started with a weird breakfast at Tsui Wah in Wan Chai. We opted for two set menus: 1. Scrambled eggs and crispy bun, paired with a bowl of satay beef with instant noodles in soup, and sweet condensed milk tea. 2. Fried egg and soft bun, paired with shredded squid and ham with macaroni in soup, and sweet condensed milk coffee. They really seem to love condensed milk in HK and put it on just about everything, including tea,  toast and waffles. Needless to say this was a whole lot of food and a whole new level of breakfast, which we made a good attempt at, but in the end it was just way too much for first thing in the morning. After a huge breakfast we headed to Wan Chai Computer Centre to check out some electronic gadgets. This place is like Tottenham Court road on steroids. Next we headed to Mong Kok and the great Ladies Market for some serious haggli

Hiking Lamma Island

Today we visited one of Hong Kong's many islands, Lamma Island. A short 20 minutes ferry ride from Hong Kong Island and we were in the sleepy island of Lamma. It is completely different from Hong Kong. Quiet, picturesque and very slow paced. We followed the trail from Sok Kwu Wan Ferry Pier to Yung Shue Wan Ferry Pier. The route passed through some beaches and a few small (mostly abandoned villages). I really loved the contrast between this small tranquil island and the intense metropolis. Below are photos taken along the route.
