28 March 2011 - Hong Kong

We are back in Hong Kong, having docked at the prime position in Kowloon overlooking Hong Kong Island. This morning we went to Hong Kong Museum of Art which is a fantastic modern building right on the waterfront. Finally the sun is out and it's pleasantly warm, so we took the Star Ferry over to Hong Kong Island, travelled in style on the top deck which cost us a whole 40p extra! It's 13 years since we have been on Hong Kong Island and the amount of change is simply staggering, not only the office buildings but also mall upon mall, each one full of expensive designer shops, there is little cheap to buy these days. It does make you appreciate the amount of wealth that there must be in Hong Kong to support so many retail outlets. As the sun was shining we decided to take what was only our second opportunity to sit by the ships pool on our return. .After an early dinner, we went back to our cabin and had front row seats on our balcony for the laser show. A fitting end to our trip.
