Hello friends! Mary here. We spent a fun evening in Hong Kong, was it really only the day before yesterday? Hard to believe - time all sort of runs together when the energizer bunny doesn't let you sleep.
Arrived in Hong Kong after a very long flight - it's been a while since I've spent that many hours on a plane. We flew Cathay Pacific and it was refreshing to have a blanket and a pillow on my seat, and have food served - all at no additional cost! (Sorry Martin)
We landed at 8:00 pm, and Mark and I jumped on the MTR and headed for Kowloon, sleepiness be damned. We walked over to the harbour and checked out the view to Hong Kong side - it really is a fantastice city, and we both prefer the spectacular night time view. Luckily, it was night time and clear, and the view did not disappoint. But, photos cannot transmit smell, luckily. There's a reason it's called "Fragrant Harbour".
Spent a few hours wandering about in the night market, having some beerz and a plate of gai lan, and made it back to the hotel at 1:30 a.m. Hong Kong was still wide awake, but we definitely were NOT!
More soon.....

It's a beautiful snap. I've never been to HK. I am so excited for you!!!
I would imagine that arriving in HK is much like arriving in Vegas in the middle of the night. Very difficult to choose sleep amidst all the lights and activity. Nothing like eating good food in the middle of the night to keep the internal clock completely confused. Of course, the energizer bunny helps in this regard, as well!
Mary...Cindy, Cliff & Baby Bloop Bloop here. So excited for you & Mark on your big adventure. Looking forward to anything you write, and I hope you just soak up this adventure to the fullest. Who needs sleep when you are on the other side of the world!!
