Hong Kong and the New Territories


I spend most of yesterday revisiting many of the usual tourist spots in Hong Kong that we had previously seen on our family holiday about 10 years ago, including doing the Peak Tram ride, and taking the Star Ferry across to Kowloon for the spectacular view of the Hong Kong skyline at night.  
Today I decided to explore some of the New Territories, and took the ferry first to Lamma Island, where I wandered around for a while and had a great meal.  In the afternoon I took another ferry to Lantau, which is a large island to the West of Hong Kong and adjacent to the airport.  Some attractive walks around here.
In the evening I met up with my friend Jason, just flown in from Singapore.  We spent the evening catching up with things over a beer or two and started planning our China itinerary.
