Day 2 - to Paris

After posting up the blog last night, we decided tro venture back out to see the famous 'Symphony of Light' (the light-show from the buildings on Hong Kong Island) and to try our haggling skills at one of the night markets. So, with a few cocktails from the bar (to build negotiating stamina) and some umbrellas loaned from the hotel, the porter flagged us down a taxi to take us to Kowloon.

The light show was definitely worth the effort - the scale of the whole city is the most astounding thing (which isn't easy to capture on camera but we've attached the best of what we took so you can get some idea). As for the markets, Christine decided she was going to haggle like there's no tomorrow (so not only did we score cheap hats and bags, we were kept entertained watching the master at work).

After getting some sleep back at the hotel, it was an early morning start to get to the airport for the flight to Paris. Not much to report here except that it was another long flight and we were all pleased to get off the plane. However, it was well worth the long haul because we're now in Paris!! We all need a bit of rest to try and recover but it just wouldn't be right spending the first evening in Paris in the hotel room - so, we plan to head out for a wine or two at a cafe somewhere.........we'll see how long we can last before falling asleep.
