Hong Kong Day 2

Merry Christmas!

Instead of going to a church, took the MTR to Wong Dai Sin Temple. Very crowded it being the eve of the full-moon. Drew a good lot for my fortune in 2005. Hope it comes true. *smile*

Took the MTR again down to Hong Kong Island. Walked to Lam Gwai Fong. Nice and empty place given it was still early in the day. Very small place crowded with lotsa pubs and restaurants.

Bought some interesting novelty items before making our way over to the Tram Station.

Wow... Long queue for the tram up to the Peak snaked for some 300 m. Bought some really expensive 'packaged' tix to 'cut queue'. Thank goodness I didn'e go to Madam Tussard's while I was in London.

View from the Peak wasn't too good either with the bad haze but it cleared slightly at dusk.

Was again disappointed by the (same) fireworks but got some pretty photos.

Did some serious damage to my wallet today but was prepared to do more damage at Temple Street after offloading our wares back at the hotel in Kowloon.
