Lots of Shopping and Great Mexican Food?

After a very brief rest, Pat and I hit the streets with Ken and Barb. Barb is a planner and had scheduled a busy afternoon for us.

Hong Kong is mountainous and very tall buildings are built on the sides of these steep hills. I could get an attack of vertigo just looking out my window if I lived in one of these buildings. After a brief ride on the historic Star Ferry we took the Victoria Peak Railway up to the top of Victoria Peak. This is the steepest cable car route in the world. On some sections, the incline is 35 degrees. The views are outstanding. This is the view from the top which is crammed with….you guessed it! Shopping!

On to the central area of Hong Kong Island. This is one of the many shopping areas in Hong Kong. Main streets are packed with high-end, name brand stores. On the side streets are stalls that are crammed together where you will find some of the bargains that Hong Kong is famous for. Pat went to a favorite stop on Barbs and fed her “purse addiction” …she bought about four more. I can just see the baggage charges now!!

Time to eat….Where to go for the best Mexican Food? Wan Chai is an area that has night club after night club. It’s also home to Agave which had great Margaritas and surprisingly good Mexican Food. It has a great view on to a busy street where you can watch the girls at the clubs rope the customers in. As we were told several times, women were welcome too……Pat wasn’t buying that one either.

All for Now. On to the Stanley Market tomorrow!
