Last day

Hong Kong

Last full day in Hong Kong so after a surprisingly nice coffee near our hotel we did some shopping. In the area where we were staying everywhere you look it's shops shops and more shops and as it was raining steadily we joined everyone else. The service in the shops was noticeably good, very different from home, and we both ended up buying some clothes.

Back to the hotel to rest for a while after all that shopping, and later that afternoon we headed back to Lan Kwai Fong for a happy hour drink and then a nice meal at an Italian restaurant.

After that we revisited the Temple St Market, this time it was open but as it turned out the merchandise wasn't much different to what we'd seen at the Ladies Market, so we came away with nothing. 


After a night's rest it was up early to check out, then take an Uber to the airport, followed by a 9 hour flight back to Melbourne and the ridiculously cold temperatures we'd managed to avoid for the last 10 weeks! We thought that the cold might be a welcome relief after experiencing some incredibly hot and humid weather, but after standing outside Melbourne Airport in the cold for about 30 seconds we realised we were 100% wrong about that!
