Hong Kong

On Friday night we caught an overnight bus from Yangshou to Shenzhen (very near the Hong Kong border). Unfortunately a combination of dodgy sweet and sour chicken and rough roads meant that I was one of the dozen people on the bus that threw up at some stage during the night. Luckily I was sick in the bathroom at one of the stops - other people weren't so lucky and had to use the cheap sick bags on the bus. We walked across the border into Hong Kong and found a cheap place to stay on Nathan Road in Kowloon near the Tsimshatsui MTR station.

Yesterday we took the Star ferry across to Hong Kong Island and rode the Peak Tram up to the lookout. Today we were scheduled to go to Macau but I misjudged the price somewhat. It was going to cost close to US$100 for both of us to go so we've decided to stay in Hong Kong and just walk around the city and plan our route to the airport for our early morning flight to Manila tomorrow.

China has beaten our expectations so leaving has got us in two minds. We are both looking forward to the Philippines and relaxing on the beach for a week or so.
