HKG 22-26 Feb 09 (Day 2)

We had a good rest and Adel is fully recharged too.
The itinerary was mainly temple visiting.

We had brunch at the local cafeteria before starting heading towards Wong Tai Sin. We got our Octopus card and started our journey on MTR. We did not bring along the pram as the steps down to MTR was narrow and always crowded but I had my forever liable sling with me.

Nothing much for Wong Tai Sin and I found it to be too commercialised and organised due to the large amount of people visiting daily.

We took the train all the way to Tung Chung for the cable car ride up to Ngoh Ping 360. It was exciting and the view was great. Adel was scared stiff initially and did not dare to move at all but soon she was used to it. BIL was the only one who has a problem as he has a phobia for heights. We soon approached the cable car terminal and were expecting the automated monkey to take a pic of us. The direction was not right and we did not manage to get the picture right.

It was a cultural village that greeted us first and then the long flight of stairs up to the Big Buddha. It was a magnificent sight and suddenly a feeling holiness engulfed me. We headed back for our cable car ride with a tired Adel.

Next destination was to The Peak but drama happened such that only sisters and BIL went ahead. I had a tired and hungry Adel and we headed back to hotel and rest for the night.
