Our hotel had a lovely rooftop pool, and although it wasn’t really pool weather, I insisted we spent at least a couple of hours just chilling out before we went exploring. The travelling was tiring and needless to say I hadn’t slept well, so I figured a couple of hours wrapped in cosy dressing gowns lying on a sun lounger wouldn’t do any harm. And we even had a quick dip – though it was a bit too cold for a luxuriating swim.
We had 3 days in Hong Kong before we tripped over to Macau, so we mostly spent them walking, sightseeing and eating. Lots and lots of eating.
We visited noodle bars and japanese restaurants, had brilliant Tapas at Jason Atherton’s restaurant and we even had an M&S sandwich at one point. The food in Hong Kong is excellent – there are Michelin starred restaurants nestled next to hole-in-the wall joints and modern, european cafe’s. Wonderful.
As we walked we came across parks, temples, jam-packed streets and lots and lots of sky scrapers.
Then before we knew it, it as time to pack our bags again and find the ferry to Macau, for part 2 of the holiday.
