Last Day in Hong Kong

After a restless night, and waking up 2-3 times like always, and then having that weird feeling of not knowing exactly where I was when I DID wake up.. We had breakfast at the bakery in the hotel, then went off on our tour. We went to Victoria's Peak (the highest point in Hong Kong)
Then we went to Aberdeen to a little harbor where fishermen do a lot of their fishing.. but it's pretty sparse this time of year.


Then we went to the Aberdeen Jewelry Shop (I don't think thats the real name, but I know that that is where it was!) and we got to see how they made a lot of their jewelry. Then we got to go into the showroom where they had dozens of counters filled with some of the most beautiful necklaces/bracelets/earrings/etc. that I've ever seen. And of course they were playing some orchestra music in the background.. so I automatically feel like (a) I'm in a movie and (b) I'm underdressed in my tennis shoes and pull-over.
Afterwards, we went to one of the large bazaars and just looked around. We'll probably do most of our shopping when we go to Beijing on vacation. Then, we headed back to the hotel. Our tour guide suggested a place to eat just down the road. We were the only Americans in the whole restaurant and only one man working there spoke English. After getting what seemed like an appetizer, we went back to the hotel and rested before going to the Symphony of Lights at the harbor.

While waiting for the bus to take us back to the hotel, there was some kind of accident just down the road. I saw the firetrucks, and automatically started running after them to take a picture for Ty. I probably just looked like another "crazy American tourist" but thats okay.


All in all, our stay in Hong Kong was pretty good, but I'm definitely excited to get unpacked and settled in to Zhongshan tomorrow! ;)
