Hola people,thought it about time to update.I now know how Marty Mcfly felt when he stepped out of the dolorian,Ive lost a complete day and its messing with my body clock big time.Landed at about seven in the morning,although i did think the pilot was gonna come up short and ditch it in the south china sea.I could actually see the faces of the fishermen as we flew over them.This place is absolutly amazing,i love it.Its non stop.So with nowhere to stay and my belly growling i caught the train to Kowloon,where i wanted to stay.After asking the driver for a decent but cheap hotel i settled on one right on Victoria harbour,the view from my room is amazing.

Spent the first day just having a wander around,getting the star ferry across the harbour and the tram to the peak of Hong Kong island.The view from there was amazing and as little kids ran around i shuffled towards the edge and managed to peer over and take a few shoots before my vertigo kicked in and i threw myself on the ground and catterpillered back to safety.Its a good job my camera has a shaky hands button.

Only managed to stand at the edge for a short time.What a tosser.
and early the next day and caught the bus to ocean park,a bit like Alton towers but with sharks and stuff.I have come to the realisation that i am officially old.Instead of jumping on the spinemelter 2000 i head straight to the atoll reef and take numerous pictures of jelly fish and small wiggly things that i cant pronounce.Dad you wouldve been proud.The highlight of the day was seeing a pair of giant pandas who for the 30 mins i was there didnt move once,what a life,im gonna come back as a panda or a g string.Or a g string on a panda.

Thought id try some of the local grub as well so i found the smallest busiest backstreet noodle house and asked for something local.What arrived was a bowl of soup,noodles and some kind of small round meat.I certainaly have never heard of the table tennis animal,cause thats what these looked like.Draw your own conclusions but some pig somewhere isnt gonna have any little miss piggys.

My time in Hong Kong is drawing to an end,I wish i had a week as theres loads i wont get to see.Maybe ill come back someday.

Well its
