Hong Kong cont...

We had a short rest at the hotel before we headed downtown to take in the sights. The busyness of Hong Kong is so different that what we are use to in Canada. There isn't a clear space to be seen anywhere. We headed to a local market and it was great watching the boys see the cultural differences. Evan wasn't intimidated at all. In fact, he approached a vendor to check out her watches. Kieran on the other hand couldn't stomach the smells. After a little over an hour both of the boys wanted to head to the hotel.
At around 5pm we took a taxi to Rob's friend's house to meet for dinner. With our tour guides in tow, we headed to a local restaurant and had a fabulous dinner. Afterwards we went back to their house. They have a fabulous view from their balcony as you can see in the nighttime shot. We had planned on walking along Victoria Harbour, but Evan was exhausted and had fallen asleep on their couch. It was good that we gave the walk a miss, because as we left monsoon rains started falling. We all fell into bed and had a great sleep!
As we speak we are sitting in Hong Kong airport awaiting our flight to Brunei. I'm excited to see what life will look like for us once we are settled!
