Hong Kong Day 2

Monday 2 October
Left Hotel 8am for tour of island. Except for our guide who talked constantly about money and costs and not the history of Hong Kong or where we were.
Drove to harbour and told if we wanted a ride around the harbour it would cost $60 HK ($12 aust) Not impressed this was not part of the cost of the tour. Got to see house and fishing boats, fish drying and other interesting things.
Visit to Diamond factory
Bus to Stanley markets.
Up Mount Victoria for a look around. Cannot believe how crowed the skyscrapers are and their height. Highest one 114 floors. Had to come back down mountain in a cable tram-Jan did it despite her fear of heights.
