Hong Kong

Last week, Adrian and I took a quick trip to Hong Kong. We had a great time! We loved seeing the beautiful skyline of Hong Kong, but I think we enjoyed our small excursions outside of the city the most. 

Taking a gondola up to see the Big Buddah







It was foggy the entire week so we couldn't capture the beautiful buildings (they have the most high-rises in the world - more than NYC).



We did a short hike across Lamma Island. It took about thirty minutes to get there by ferry. There are no cars on the island.

 But there are lots of bikes on Lamma Island! This was taken at the ferry station. I guess everyone rides their bike to the ferry and then takes it into the city. You can't see the row of bikes on the other side of Adrian as well.



We did a hike on Hong Kong Island called "Dragon's Back." The views were spectacular on all sides.



And lastly, we went up the The Peak to view the city from above.

It was a great trip and we are so glad we went.

I love how you said you took a "quick trip to Hong Kong," as if it's Toronto or something. :)

Looks so beautiful!!

On a completely unrelated note, your hair is getting long.
