at the peak

Peak Tower, Hong Kong
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the morning of the third day in HK, when Lin left for the airport, I left for Victoria Peak, Hong Kong's most visited site. Ting Ting had mentioned that the place I was staying at was about an hour's walk to the top of the peak, so I was so excited to do it! So I grabbed my iPod, put on some walkin' shoes and set out for the top.

Sooo I was a little tired in the beginning!

On the way, I saw signs for the tram that could take me to the top - I admit I was tempted ;) But it was really fun to do it on my own, since it only took an hour each way. It was quiet, peaceful, and super relaxing. PLUS, at the top was a surprise: coffee shops!! Oh the thrill...

See what happens when you let other people take your photo?? Your face gets all fat. I prefer taking pics myself:
