On day 2 we awoke to rain, but decided to stick with our original plan and just take umbrellas. We got the MTR to the island and then the ferry to Park Island, which is where the ‘Noah’s Ark’ family attraction is. Figuring it would be good for us to patronise the Christian effort, we were disappointed to find that the references to the rainbow were a sign of peace and harmony between all people (contrast Genesis 9:11-15) and what we can learn from the Flood story is that we should try our best to save the planet. Hmm.
From there we got a ferry to Tsuen Wan and MTR to the Ngong Ping gondola. This took about 30 minutes each way and gave us a very different perspective of the landscape.
In the evening we went to the Temple Street night markets which was very close to where we were staying, and managed to bargain some very reasonable prices. Not something I particularly enjoy though!
