Mission Accomplished :)




Mission Accomplished at the Ladies Market last evening. I finally found and purchased my first knock off purse of our trip.It's a lovely deep purple D&G purse. Laura and I also found some other treasures like cute little ankle socks and some bandanas. Laura continues to look for a tripod but we'll have to go back to the Temple Market for it.




Today we ventured out into the New Territories. We went to the Tai Po Market where they market everything from live frogs to eels to tiny little fish. They eat anything over here! We also went to see the 10,000 Budda's but it is under renovation so walked many, many stairs for nothing. Oh ya, found another market and bought another purse- Louis Vutton for a whole $12 Cnd. Doug just rolls his eyes and walks away!!




This afternoon we went for our daily swim in our hotel pool which is lovely. Pool water was 28 degrees while outside air was 32 degrees with 67% humidity.




Tonight we went for dinner at the Salisbury YMCA which is reasonably priced and just around the corner from our hotel. Then we went to watch the symphony of lights down by the Star Ferry in the harbour-beautiful light show with music.




Doug is kicked back on his bed watching TV drinking beer, which by the way you can purchase in any and all stores for 75 cents.




Tomorrow we pick up our Visa's and purchase our plane tickets so we can fly into China on July 6th. We go to Guilin which is approximately 600 miles by air, west of Hong Kong. Should be fun.




Time to relax
