Victoria Peak, Shanghai Tang…. Man Mo Temple
Yes, even though it was always my intention, I have to admit we didn’t climb up to the Victoria Peak but went up with the tram – somehow we couldn’t face it today. However as Yvo’s just getting adjusted to the time difference we have a good excuse to take it easy today. The 125 year old tram climbed patiently and almost vertically up the hill… but no worries it comes with von Roll technology (swiss made!). Once at the top a few more escalators had to be taken before we reached the sky view terrace on 522m. Up there we were enjoying the amazing view over Hongkong City and Victoria Harbour.
After having made our way down again, i couldn’t resist to quickly go to Shanghai Tang… i was already NOT going there in Shanghai… Now it was just time to go there and get a little souvenir 🙂 Tja girls are always happy if they can go shopping…. and after all i decided to buy this little jumper and not the amazing dress… which i didn’t even try on as it would have had to be booked off as a fatal incident from my credit card bill and given the fact i am still travelling for a few months… let’s stay reasonable.
After successful shopping we returned to the area of our hotel and paying Man Mo Temple a visit. I promised that i will go and burn some incenses in a temple for the fact that i managed to find my train at Beijing West Railway station. Man Mo Temple seemed to me the right place to do so as it is a temple full of incenses dangling from the ceiling infusing it with a smoky air. There was energy in this temple and i strongly believe that i will now have again blessing to continue with my travelling.
i would have loved to be able to read what the people were writing on these papers they were attaching to their incenses….
Hongkong here we are… love it already!!
Sometimes you feel this buzz and sometimes you just don’t. Hongkong is definitely a city that conquered my heart just upon arrival. Despite the fact that the taxi driver made a little detour… pretending he couldn’t find the right street number… and if he really did – it is ok. I am happy to be here. Also happy with my choice of hotel http://www.ovolohotels.com. The room is very stylish but a bit small which is as apparently everywhere in this city. I good a cool view and just a few steps from Soho to go for a drink or dinner. Plus this place has a laundry room – so you can do the laundry yourself in a very casual way… fantastic for me who just sweated through half of my wardrobe in 3 days 🙂 Apparently there is also a gym but i am pretending that i haven’t seen it… yet!! Maybe i should go for a quick run at some stage… i must be totally out of condition already! Vilicht doch echli meh carbon in Zukunft ha ha. Anyway this is just a check in report… more to come during the next couple of days. By the way, yes i am in HK and not Paris… in case you are irritated by the first pics.. but hey that was just on may way for a drink tonight… there is more to come i can assure you!
