Well we arrived in Hong Kong after a journey that went very smoothly! Hong Kong is a great city and a shopaholic's paradise - we canot believe the number of designer shops - Laura wishes she was a millionaire!
We are all struggling a bit with jet lag and humidity but are having a fantastic time. We have walked along the harbourside at night - drank cocktails on the 30th floor of a skyscraper and had a genuinely Chinese meal with espresso style tea. We have visited some lovely gardens on Hong Kong island. We have been to Lantau Island to see the largest outdoor Buddha in the world and Po Lin monastery! Today we went to the Jade Market and became very cultured with a trip to an Art Museum!

We still hope to hit the heights of Victoria Peak but the weather is just too cloudy at the moment. We are also planning to dine out at Jumbos floating restaurant. Our time in Hong Kong is coming to an end though and we will soon be hitting New Zealand where more blogs will follow!
All in all we really love Hong Kong - a fantastic cosmopolitan city.
Love to everyone!
Ruff (plus Laura & Niall)

P.S. Niall would like to mention that we ate in a restaurant called 'The Gaylord'

Surely everything else pales in comparison with eating in a restaurant called 'The Gaylord'!
I think you are right Phil. Was truly momentous!!

I love that picture above. It looks more like a thunderstorm than a night photo.
