Day 3 - Kowloon - Hong Kong Island - Kowloon

Day 3... Rise and shine... shared a single bed with Elaine last nite and was plastered to the wall... Now arm ache... need to refigure tonite's sleeping arrangements... or else my left arm will be useless by the end of the trip... hehe!!

First stop... Esprit outlet!!! :D ahaha!! the main reason we are in Hong Kong under such sweltering heat right? Shopping!!! Managed to get quite a bit of stuff... was so busy shopping that we forgot breakfast... and it was 1 plus when we realised we skipped a meal and we were all damn hungry already... time to look for food!!!

Next stop... this shop in this little book of recommended food... Beef noodles stir-fry was the recommended dish... gosh... I tell you all these books have directions issues... last nite we were brought to this place under constructions... today it was along this road with so many shops and unclear signboards.. luckily didnt take too long to find the shop.. Hungry liao!!!

Beef noodles were good.. :) Beef for tender and tasty... but for the rest of the things we ordered... hmmm... lets just say there is a reason why they only recommended this one dish... hehe!! I was persuaded to give up my beef noodles for Elaine's curried rice coz she looked so 'cham' looking at the curried rice.. the things I do to keep Elaine happy... *shakes head* ;)

Okay... we were done shopping in Kowloon.. where else to go? Decided to go up Victoria's Peak on the Hong Kong island.... Took the MTR then shopped at Central.... bought nothing except some really expensive shoes for mummy coz her feet hurt.... then off we were to sit the tram...

Tram ahead!!! Stand behind the yellow line!!! :D Tram was pretty quaint althought it looked quite new... probably recently refurbished... the slope up was surprisingly steep!!! yikes!! but there was some really nice view on the way up... like this one....

Taken from inside the tram looking out.... and then this next one is taken right outside Burger King which was what we had for dinner.... Jeez... RM40 for burger king.. who would have thought!! and the burger was sure miniscule....

We had to hang around til nite fall to catch the nite lights which of course we had to pay more for just to go to the top of the observation deck... Blood suckers... isk isk isk... Then nite came and the lights came up... This is the time when you curse yourself for not carrying a tripod... couldnt get a nice shot and the settings on the camera was a bit off... so this was the best shot... haiz... Camera ran out of batteries after one shot so took Ai May's camera instead.. think I got some better shots there but photos are not with me.. :(

And this was a shot of a professional shot which we paid to be taken... they refused to give the soft copy so I took a picture of the hard copy...

That is it for day 3... all went home very tired.. oh ya... the lights show? Nothing great... a few strobes of spot lights and they call it a show... cheh!!!

Stay tuned for day 4....
