Mum woke me up this morning to get ready to go out because Alison had arrived and we were showing her round. We went on the Star Ferry (see picture - we are waiting for the ferry to arrive at the Hung Hom Ferry terminal) to Central. This is a good way to get someone used to Hong Kong.
We took her to Hong Kong Station to buy an Octopus card so that she could use the public transport without needing to sort out the exact money (most buses and ferries require you to have the exact money before boarding).
After that we walked to Hang Seng Bank to get on the escalator. We stopped half way up to look at a nice Chinese pottery shop. Mum looked at some Lazy Susans for some of our friends. We then continued up to the top. From there we walked through the Zoological Gardens (see previous entry) and then finally to the Peak Tram Stop. We travelled up the amazingly steep tram to the Peak and went up the viewing point at the top. There are lots of binoculars on the viewing platform for everyone to look through. It costs 5 Hong Kong dollars. I had a go on about five different ones because the views are fantastic. Mum and Alison found this amusing.
We then got the bus down the Peak back to Central Ferry Pier.
In the evening Alison came round for a Chinese takeaway - we promised her she would get a dial-a-dinner whilst she was here! It was a nice, relaxing evening after all the walking we had done during the day.
Speak soon.
Lots of love Meganxxx
PS. It is my first tennis lesson tomorrow and I am very nervous at having a new coach!
