Hong Kong - 1st round

After a very long flight and with a 13 hour time difference from Mexico to Hong Kong, the family is now gathered for a family vacation. First stop: Hong Kong, where my sister is doing at semester at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I arrived pretty late, so we just found a place to eat and took the first family photo, we all look a bit funny, it was a hazzle to get the picture done.

The next day we spent a couple of hours walking around in the city, getting to know it a little bit. Luckily Berdie is a very good guide, and she showed us around some of the nice places. 

Every time you look up, it looks more or less like this. All the buildings are super high.

Putting out things to dry everywhere

Scaffolding made from bamboo, a common thing to see.

Second day, we climbed Lion's Rock. It was tough, and not making the jetlag any better. But the view from the top was definately worth it. 

Up and up and up

That is a happy sis

That was the view from the top.

Third day, Berdie had some things to do at the university, so we went to see a Thousand Monks Monastry. Again it was up and up and up, but this time we had golden monks on each sides to make the climb a little more interesting.

The top was worth the climb!

With the ladies

The last day before heading off for Cambodia, we went to see the university. Berdie showed us around on the huge campus, and then she and a friend, Klara, made us dinner. 

A great way to say goodbye to Hong Kong for now, we are coming back in a couple of days.
