24 HOURS IN HONG KONG

12 hours after tearful farewells at Heathrow we arrived at our first stop, a fleeting visit to Hong Kong.

Despite being extremely tired, we decided not to succumb to sleep but to head straight out. Having been in Hong Kong numerous times, we wanted to go to somewhere we hadn't been before - shopping certainly wasn't on the cards due to budget and lack of luggage space!

We headed to Hong Kong Park via City Supermarket for some lunchtime snacks. The park is an oasis of green surrounded by Skyscrapers, there is a lake with Koi and turtles and a large aviary. We had a leisurely stroll and ate lunch on a park bench before heading to the aviary for a spot of bird watching - Bill Oddey eat your heart out!!

By this time we were starting to feel a bit weary so decided to have a relaxing foot massage before heading back to the hotel for a siesta. In the evening we met up with some friends (Martigne and James it was great to see you!) for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Central - check out a place called Bacar when you're in Hong Kong and be sure to order the tuna!

Although it was tempting to head to Wan Chai we decided to be sensible and go back to the hotel for a relatively early night as we had to be up at 6am the following morning to catch our flight to Sydney.
