The Peak


After the Feng Shui tour we took the tram up to the Peak.   This was Granny's #1 request as she had missed out on her last visit, and she wasn't disappointed.


We had an exciting ride up the hillside after the usual hour of queuing.   Made even more memorable by the mainland family just behind us who allowed their young child to urinate on the floor of the ticket hall  and they were loudly told-off by the tramway staff.


Fortunately while we were queing, the weather cleared and we could enjoy magnificent views from he peak across Victoria Harbour to Kowloon.


On the far right of the skyline in the picture below we can clearly see Kowloon Peak where we had started the day.


I'd booked us for dinner at Baba Gump in the Peak Building where we had a memorable dinner on our fist visit to Hong Kong.    As before we secured a window table with views over Hong Kong and could enjoy the view as the sun set and the lights came up.   The restaurants has an interesting cajun menu and nice staff but unfortunately the kitchen can't do the menu justice, and the food was pretty awful (cold soup etc.).
