Nov 16
We left Beijing at the crack of dawn this morning and hopped on a flight to Hong Kong. The kids gave goodbye hugs to Ms. June, our tour guide while in Beijing. She’s been a great hostess to our family.
On arrival in Hong Kong we took the express train to Kowloon, then a shuttle to our hotel, Metropark Hotel Kowloon. (No included breakfast here). After checking in and settling into our hotel, 12 of us decided to walk around and explore Hong Kong. Gong Gong stayed behind to meet an old friend for dinner. While walking to our destination, Temple Street Night Market, we happened to pass the hospital I was born at!
We ate dinner at random street side restaurant near Temple Street night market. The place was covered with a tarp and had wood plank table tops with no covers and stools for seating. Our waiter was a shirtless man with sandals. The food we ordered included classic HK dishes, fried rice, beef chow fun, razor clams and some fish balls. Everything was delicious! After dinner, we walked Temple Street night market then took the MTR (subway) to the Ladies night market. So much walking!
