We arrived in Hong Kong on Sunday morning and met up with Dave on Hong Kong Island. He showed us round the markets where they sell live fish and the meat is just hanging up outside the shops. It doesn't smell very nice in the summer. We went to see the big Buddha on Monday and met up with Rob Wills in the evening at a very cool bar on the 30th floor at 1 Peking Road - a great place to watch the 8pm laser light show. On Tuesday we went up to the Peak Tram which has been running for more than 120 years, there were some great views from the top. In the afternoon we went shopping in Stanley Market to get some bargains.

That's it, holiday over... We caught the 23.25 flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow. What a fantastic experience, we'll never forget...
