Victoria Peak

Pretty nice little Saturday, actually! Pete and I started the day by picking up our official Hong Kong ID cards downtown. After that, we met some new friends from school for a lunch of dim sum at a popular and traditional dim sum restaurant. It was kind of a crazy experience. The waiters just walk around with trays of food and stop by your table to ask you if you would like what they are serving. You just take whatever you want and they add it all up at the end. Good food!

After that Pete and I decided to spend the day at Victoria Peak. We took the tram up the mountain, which is an experience in itself - very steep! Once you get up there, though, it is incredible! The view is great and there are two malls, lots of stores and restaurants. There is also a nature path that you can walk around. It's about 3k and we made it about a half a K before I decided that I was probably not going to make it all around. We'll definitely go back again when Lucy is with us and not in my belly! I think it will be a little easier that way :)
These are all pics of the view from the top! Fantastic!






After taking a taxi down the mountain, we went into central Hong Kong for a bit and visited City Super, a grocery store that had been recommended to us by many of our fellow teachers. The store was VERY crowed, however, it definitely a find. It has everything we could possible ever want there. Brand names from home and everything. We will be back - although next time I think we will avoid a Saturday afternoon!
