Day 5 & 6 – Hong Kong – 2 Big days on the Big Bus

I am actually typing this out on day 6 because I was too darn tired last night to blog. In fact I started last night but was so tired I stuffed up the pictures so I had to start again today and put 2 days together. (P.S. its now day 7!) Essentially what we have done the past 2 days is the same with different sceneries. We (all 6 of us) bought tickets on “the Big Bus” hop-on hop-off tour. This culminated in us travelling all over HK and I do mean all over. This is something Shane & I got into early in our travels o/s. When in a strange city this is one of the best ways to orientate yourself and see what’s about.

I won’t go into the tour like a running commentary because there is just so much to see in HK and I couldn’t do it justice. What I can tell you is that my pedometer on my fitness watch tells me I walked 4.15 and 5.71 kms respectively as well as spending quite some period of the day in a bus or on a ferry or on a tram. Not bad considering I’m still on crutches. What I might try this posting is to show you our days in pictures even though I know they won’t be in order.
