Hong Kong Calling…

Greetings from a cloudy Hong Kong!

We arrived last night (Hong Kong time) and stayed the night at the airport hotel. Less than stellar, but it was a place to rest our heads, and by that point, we needed it! We awoke early this morning, showered, and met the rest of our travel group as they arrived and congregated in the Hong Kong airport. We traveled as a group to the hotel on the Kowloon Peninsula where we are staying tonight. We had to wait several hours for our rooms, as they were fully booked the night before and had to wait for people to check out, but they provided a lounge area where we waited and got to know the other families in our group. After getting checked in, we met the group and took a half-day bus tour of Hong Kong, including Victoria Peak and the Fisherman's Village. We are now back at the hotel winding down.

We will leave this hotel on Tuesday morning (again, Hong Kong time) and travel back to the airport and on to Nanchang. We should arrive around 12:30pm, and will hopefully have Sydney by this time tomorrow!

Here are a few photos of our quick tour of Hong Kong:
