Some final Hong Kong observations:
- nearly everyone wears trainers;
- the public transport is amazing, and cheap, and that plus (some of) the food are the only cheap things here;
- and finally, it can feel very foreign, with Chinese characters everywhere, and not many western faces; but because of the prevalence of English, on signs and spoken, it also feels very easy to navigate. Even the road signs are in the famous UK Highways Agency-approved font.
Next up, New Zealand! And hopefully some sun! And of course, the return of the jet lag (another five hours time difference to adjust to).
PS you may have noticed in the photos some repetition in our outfits while in Hong Kong. We did not expect much chilly weather this trip, so rationed our packing to one jumper each. As you can tell, these have been well-used (Jemima's in particular is pretty grubby now). Another thing New Zealand will bring us is the opportunity for a more varied wardrobe, and a laundrette...
