Something is a bit odd...

We have been out walking around since 11am and we are still dry - no sweat, are we acclimatising? I fear not - 78% humidity but I think only about 26 degrees here - positively chilly. Then there is the air con which here, rather than simply making the temperature bearable instead turns every building into a freezer!
I don't know - just no pleasing some people is there. Ah well, I'll just dig out a jumper then!
So why the late start - 11 am for goodness sake - we lost half a day....
Yes well, we saved up our laundry as we didn't have time left in Hanoi to do it. Unfortunately the laundry here is priced per item instead of per kilo. This is not good. So the sink and the shower were put to good use. Of course we then had to clean the shower and the sink and ourselves! We may not be perfectly clean but at least the clothes don't smell so bad (we hope).
After laundry morning we set off. Quick stop at bakery for breakfast - total cost 90p and very yummy! Then along Jordan road and down Nathan road to the star ferry terminal to work out things for tomorrow. Wandered around shops for a bit. Found some gadget shops so Martyn could research! Realised we were in what must have been Kowloons Knightsbridge given the number of posh shops! Quick trip to Avenue of the Stars for the view of Hong Kong island skyline and then back to Temple Street night Market for dinner.



Phew. More tomorrow when we head to Hong Kong island - of course we have only done half the laundry so it might be a late start again !
