Hong Kong 2nd Day

---

10th January 2008
We went around North Point on Hong Kong Island last night but quickly realised we were quite tired and after Bob had sampled the chinese equivqlent of Macdonalds at cafe de Coral we went back to our comfortable room on the 22nd floor and slept a bit.
Up at 7.oclock as we were so hungry and had a liesurely breakfast of everything imaginable as we watched the chinese children scurrying to school in the rain.(It is winter here)
We met Bob's scouting friend Mike Williamson for a visit to a beautiful modern reconstruction of a typical Chinese garden.. A lovely quiet oasis in a busy city. Across the road we visited the Buddist nunnery, the Wong Tai Sun Temple and gardens with many different temples and beautiful lotus flowers.
After a nice lunch and a walk along the avenue of the stars (I had only heard of Bruce Lee) we caught the Star Ferry back to Wan Chai and found our way back to the hotel on the train in the rush hour!
This evening we met up with Mike and his wife Mari at the magnificant hotel where she works,the Island Shangri-la. We had a very enjoyable meal as Mari's guests for which many thanks, Mari, we did enjoy our evening.
