Our first day in Hong Kong and we thought it best to start at the National Museum, which was quite interesting. In between the rain showers we tried some dim sum for lunch and made our way to the Star Ferry terminal for the ride across to Hong Kong island. The view from the harbour of the skyscrapers was just as amazing as the view we had from the air on the previous day.
From the ferry terminal we caught the bus up to Victoria Peak. When the cloud lifted on occasion, it offered us yet another spectacular view over the city. We had dinner and stayed until it started to get dark for more photos. Then we got the peak tram down, which was a bit of a harrowing experience (especially compared to, say, the Wellington cable car). Upon seeing the queues for the bus back to the ferry terminal, we decided to walk back. But in Hong Kong, the pedestrian routes and the roads do not necessarily correlate and long story short we ended up going in the wrong direction. It was easiest to just get a taxi back, which was an experience just in itself...
