Taking a quick stopover in Hong Kong on our way from Auckland to Tokyo. We had a lovely flight on Cathay Pacific and landed in Hong Kong at around 9pm. The temperature was still a hot and humid 28 degrees! Certainly a bit warmer than the Winter weather we have been enjoying in New Zealand. We took the Airport Express train into Hong Kong City and walked to our hotel, sweltering even in the late evening. First impressions were great, the city looked exciting with skyscrapers everywhere all lit up at night. The people seemed friendly and all announcements and signs were in English and Chinese. Checked in to another great boutique 5 star in a lively district right in the middle of it all.
Enjoyed the harbour tour today, still staggering to see the number of skyscrapers everywhere! We also checked out some of the shopping. The IFC mall was gigantic and filled with all the expensive designer shops. Enjoyed our day in Hong Kong and would like to come back to check out more of the sights. Early start tomorrow as we head off to Tokyo.
