We were actually ready to come home & decompress after our jam-packed travels through the 2 Chinese SARs. (That's not something I can say about every place that we visit for just a long weekend or less.) So the final day was one of our best, mood-wise & weather-wise. After checking out of Cosmic Guesthouse first thing in the morning, the staff was kind enough to store our bags free of charge until later in the day when we would be ready to make our way to the airport. Then the day's activities included finding some breakfast (sold by a very friendly Nepalese emigrant) at a PARKnSHOP grocery store near the Salisbury YMCA hotel, a courtesy harbor tour on the Duk Ling (an authentic restored Chinese fishing junk), a cheap Star Ferry ride back across Victoria Harbour, a walk & "bio break" in the Harbour City mall complex, & a stroll through Kowloon Park. The captions on the photos give more details on some of our fun:
We had a mid-afternoon flight out, so after grabbing our bags from the guest house in the early afternoon, we jumped on the K3 Airport Express shuttle bus (at the Kowloon Hotel stop). After checking in at the Kowloon station & getting rid of our bags, we were able to comfortably take the fast Airport Express train to the enormous, modern HKIA & then spent most of our remaining HK currency on a yummy final HK lunch at the very popular King's Palace Congee & Noodle followed by some sweet Millie's Cookies.What a fantastic & exhausting trip!
