still in Hong Kong, still sweaty and sticky... We took things a bit slower today, got up later, tried to reach At& on the phone (and had no success so we're stuck on blogspot for a while... ) and took on Kowloon today. After a nice light breakfast of noodles and roast pork, we spent some time at the Kowloon park watching people do Tai chi or learn ballroom dancing (hot), HK museum art (air'conditioned), Avenue of Stars (hot), lunch at Good Satay (AC), and taking in the Star Ferry Harbour tour (AC if you sit inside and the views were not really worth standing in the sun...) As you can tell, we figured out the sane way to spend time in a hot country, some time in the heat, some time indoors in AC... We now even know which malls to use to get to the nearest metro station. I think the newest addition to the google maps should show the air-conditioned public spaces in Hong Kong....
yep, it was a slow day. The best news of the day was to come back to our room this evening to find freshly washed and dried clothes on out beds! We washed it all in the shower yesterday but even though we had the AC on all the way in the room (I slept in thermal underwear) they didn't dry... REI failed me, dri-fit doesn't dry! Anyway, we splurged and spent $4 having them wash our clothes, so worth it...
We are pretty much ready to leave the big cities behind... Tomorrow we are off to the mainland!
