Wake up at 10.30. They don’t serve breakfast in this hotel so we have a good brunch in a restaurant nearby here. Then the exploration of Hong Kong start! We walk to the closest metro station that is the MTR Tsim Sha Tsui.

From here we go to the MTR Central and we walk in direction of The Peak that gives the best view of the city’s skyline and harbour from the Lugard Road lookout! To get to The Peak it’s needed to take a particular tram… It takes 15 minutes to find the place but once we are there to buy the ticket… they are also selling tickets for the Madame Tussauds Museum next to The Peak so we decide to buy a combo ticket that gives access to both attractions! The tram arrives and… on the way we understand why it’s called The Peak… The climb is unbelivebly steep…

We arrive to the top and it’s full of shops selling chinese things… We buy everything is on our way before to end up to the Madame Tusseaud Museum! We get in and it’s full of famous people! There are also many asian artists that we have never seen before… But we can see how asian people get crazy for them!

It takes 1 hour to visit the Madame Tusseaud Museum then we finally go to The Peak Terrace… The view is simply amazing!

We go back to the hotel to leave all the things we bought, then dinner in an italian restaurant nearby the hotel. A good pizza and a good salad to calm down hour hunger. Then we go around our neighborg for shopping.There is a tremendous confusion on the street at any time. Prices of the electronics and cosmetics are really cheap.

Now Sina got tired. It’s 22.00 and we go back to the hotel. Looking for the big meeting of tomorrow… the Giant Buddha…
