Hong Kong

So i returned back to Hong Kong after a few days in Macau. Obviously there is a fair amount of British influence still on the island, unfortunately this was reflected on my trip through cold and wet weather for some of the time. I did check one day and it was warmer at home (a cold belt through Asia taking the temperature from 70s to 50s almost overnight). However it did brighten up and whilst never as hot as in Macau, i did have to take off one of my four layers on a couple of occasions!

I don't know why, perhaps time of year, but Hong Kong appeared less busy than i remember. I did manage to take in more of the sights, or in the case of the Victoria Peak more of the cloud/fog, notable being the Zoological/Botanic gardens as well as Hong Kong park. What is easy in Hong Kong is getting about, the train from the airport is efficient and there is a range of alternatives - tram, ferry, bus, metro as well as being able to walk between most areas.
