Hong Kong...

We arrived in Hong Kong on Tuesday evening after a 2 hour flight from Ho Chi Minh City. We took a bus to our hotel, The Salisbury YMCA. This hotel is not what you would typically think of a YMCA. It was right on the harbour and we had a beautiful harbour view.

The lobby, I didn't think to take one of our room, it was small but very nice.

This was the view from our breakfast table. We had the same view from our room just higher up.

Every night at 8:00 p.m. Hong Kong has a show called the "Symphony of Lights" which is the largest permanent light and sound show according to Guinness Book of World Records. It utilizes lights on 33 key buildings on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is beautiful right there on the harbour with all the night lights. We were all amazed by the size of Hong Kong, it blows New York City right out of the water. 

Both nights we were there we went shopping at some of the street markets. I still had gifts to pick up for the kids. Shopping is everywhere you go in Hong Kong. You walk down the street and there are stores. You go down in the subway and there are stores. Everywhere you turn there is a store you could shop at. We took the subway to get to the different markets, which took a while to figure out the first night but Jason and Dennis had it all figured out by the second night.

Wednesday on our full day we took a ride on the Peak tram up to Victoria Peak which has a gorgeous view over Central, Victoria Harbour, and the surrounding islands. The peak has a lot of history dating back to the 19th century because of its panoramic view, we could see why once we got to the top.

A little cloudy this day, but started clearing up later.

We enjoyed our last meal on the trip at Ruth's Chris Steak House. The guys were so excited!

Dennis' birthday was the next day so we celebrated a little early.

This was an amazing trip. Again, I feel so blessed to have been able to go and take part in all that we had opportunity to do. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I loved being with Jason on this trip, so many times he has been able to go on these kinds of trip and I have stayed at home to take care of our babies but as they are getting older I know I will now have more opportunities to go with him. We would love to take Sarah and Brayden on some of these trips with us. We will see what the future holds. :)

Thanks for stopping by to hear all about it.
