Cable Cars

I found a couple more snaps of the cable cars, (and realized i never explained what they were). When you first get on them you can't see exactly how long the journey is, you go over the peak of the mountain and it just seems to go on forever! This combined with the fact that cable cars make hardly any noise gives you the feeling of just floating around the sky. Very strange.

It was yet another birthday party last night and so this morning there is a need for a nice cooked breakfast. Rob is fast asleep in her room, i stupidly forgot to close my curtains and missed out on the luxury once the sun began slowly baking me in my little greenhouse of a bedroom. Coming up next weekend is "National Day" in Hong Kong this day marks the "Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". For us this basically means there is a public holiday on Monday with fireworks! We have yet to experience fireworks in Hong Kong but by I was speaking to a local teacher the other day and was informed that "The Chinese know how to do a good fireworks display". I was talking to another local Chinese guy at the school and asked him if he was here when Honk Kong was handed back from the UK to China. "Yes" he replied "we had many many fireworks displays that year"...Seems they have had plently of practice putting on a show then.

Our whole group are hiring out a junk boat for the occasion. It will take us on a night cruise around the waters of Hong Kong, there will be a buffet dinner and then we get to see the fireworks from the water! Should be good.
