Hong Kong Day 2

On the agenda today was more shopping at the Stanley Markets and a seafood lunch on the wharf. We had purchased an Octopus card for the MRT (underground) for about $50. You can use these cards on the MRT and the buses. The trip to Stanley takes about an hour (MRT to Central and then a bus to Stanley). It is a lovely bus trip along the coast of Hong Kong Island. The shopping was OK , nothing really cheap but I did manage to spend a few hundred dollars! Lunch was a bit disappointing but it was nice to be on the waterfront. We were feeling really tired so went back for a rest and then off to the light show at the harbour. It was impressive, at least I thought so. Robert didn’t think it was as good as the advertisements suggested. You can judge for yourself by watching the video clip. After more shopping at the Temple Street Night Markets we had dinner and called it a day. Still feeling a bit jetlagged.
