Hong Kong

In Feb we visited Hong Kong for the first time.


Hannah has become a seasoned jet-setter.

Our hotel was in Kowloon not far from the ferry terminal.  This is the view over to the International Financial Center where my company has its offices.  The building site in the foreground is for a new high-speed railway station.


Taking the ferry across Victoria Harbor from Kowloon to Central


The first day we checked out Discovery Bay (or "DB") which is a car-less beach-side suburb on Lantau Island popular with expat families.  

Hannah was impressed with the beach.



The next day we took the bus up to The Peak and watched the lights come up from  the Peak Restaurant which had a superb view of Victoria Harbour
