We decided that the best way to see Hong Kong was to arrange a private tour - so we firstly went to a famous Taoist temple where we were smoked out by all the incence that is burning all over the place and the ash was falling onto our shoulders. Very interesting! The next stop was to take the world's steepest tram up to Victoria Peak to look out onto the Hong Kong skyline - fantastic views were had!
We were taken out in a Sampan fishing boat in Aberdeen - effectively the birth place of Hong Kong. It is interesting that the people still live and work on these boats!
Hong Kong has beaches! We are stood on Repulse Bay which is the largest of them. We also touched the "God of Wealth" as a woman won over 10 million HK dollars in Macau a few weeks ago after she did the same! Very supersticious the chinese! 
The shopping mecca of the world! We have spent 6 hours today walking around markets and electrical shops! This street is called Sai Yeung Choi and has every electrical gizmo you could ever imagine! Of course at really good prices also! We bought a few bits...... By the way you can imagine how we feel today in the crowds following last night's session...... rough!
