Hong Kong

We stopped in Hong Kong for two days on the way to and from the UK this Christmas. Neither if us had been to Hong Kong before, so it was great to explore a new city.

A few of the highlights were: The buildings, Victoria Harbour, The Peak and shopping in Kowloon.

A lookout along The Peak walking trail. Nothing to look at though due to the weather!

The same lookout the second time we stayed in Hong Kong with improved weather!
