Our last day of our fantastic holiday

We have reached our last day of our fantastic holiday.
It has gone by so quickly, looking forward to seeing you all.
Today we went on an organised tour it took us up the peak tram to the top of the sky deck, unfortunately it was misty and we couldn't see anything.
Then we went to Aberdeen and went on a sampan boat to see the floating restaurant and fishing boats were people actually live on them.
We finished the tour at stanly market.

Wednesday 5th March

Happy Birthday Mam, hope you have a lovely day,
Today we got the underground to Mong kok where there is a market where you can buy anything. It is unreal. We bought a few things.
Then we got the ferry to central where we rode on the mid town escalator to soho which is on Hong Kong island. I wasn't keen but Pete enjoyed a pint in the Yorkshire pudding bar.

Tuesday

This place is so amazing just going to show you some photos.

Monday 3rd March Hong Kong

After a 9 hour flight we arrived in Hong Kong.
What an amazing place. 
We are on a tight budget now, so this is our hotel and this is where we are eating for meals. Haha
We went on a trip to tai o fishing village. People live in those houses.fishermen and their family's have lived their for years. It is the real Hong Kong.
Then we went to see the big Budda and Po lin monastery on Lantau island. We travelled up on a cable car. It was quite foggy but a good day. Would recommend it.

Sunday 2nd march Ian and Sue's house

Today we went to see Pete's cousin. 
Ian, Sue and their family have lived in a lovely area called North Lakes near Redcliffe.
On the outskirts of Brisbane for the last 7 years.
The area is so lovely, you can see why they moved there.
Their Daughter Rachel got married at the weekend, so they had had a busy time, but they took the time  out to show us around the area where they live.
It was so lovely to meet them, and to catch up and here about their family and how well their are doing.
Thank you Ian and Sue for a lovely day.

1st march Brisbne

Today we walked over story bridge and had breakfast at Tuppeys on dockside. It was lovely.
We travelled on the ferry to south bank again and as it was so hot we went to beach street. It is a man made beach right on the rivers edge. It is amazing.
Did a little more shopping and then went to a jazz night over the river. The band were very good, it was a great night.


Brisbane

We Have been in Brisbane a few days now, and we are starting to slow down a little.
We have been down the river on the red ferry and did a little shopping yesterday. In the city centre the broncos were signing autographs. There were well fit.
We went to south bank and I must say it doesn't look like our south bank.
