Sunday morning Jen and I woke up bright and early, and headed to our Bus Tour again. Our goal was to make it to Victoria Peak (AKA The Peak) and then head back to our hotel, snag lunch, and then head to the airport to catch out flight back to Tokyo.


It was another hot and muggy day, but boy was it fun!


We got on the bus, and journeyed to The Peak. Just a side note - I would avoid Bus Tours in the future in HK. The city is too massive, and the traffic is horrible. It took us almost an hour to get to a location that would've taken us 20 minutes on the Metro. So if you go to HK, skip Bus Tours and just travel visa the Metro.

Hello Hong Kong!!!

Me trying to figure out the darn Selfie-Stick!

Look who I found!

This is the Tram that took us up and down the mountain to The Peak.

So while walking around the city Jen and I would spot hundreds of these women sitting around on cardboard. They were doing each others hair, and make-up. Talking on the phone, playing cards, and just basically hanging out. It was such a common site, that I wanted to snap a picture and remember to ask about it in the future. What I discovered is that HK is home to the most billionaires in the world, and as such they have live in maids. So on Sundays, which is their day off, they go into the city to connect and have fun with other maids. I found an article about it here, which helped explain. It was a pretty interesting sight.


Next, we were off to snag our luggage from the hotel and then our last lunch in HK. Which was delicious!!


Finally, it was time to say goodbye to HK. It was an amazing and quick trip, but I am so happy I got to expeiernce this amazing city!
