Wife cake and a sideways giraffe

I'll start at the beginning - this could be a long one - make sure you have time!
Last night - air con switched off, blanket on bed, pyjamas on me. Best nights sleep. Thought something was wrong the night before but couldn't quite wake up enough to work it out.
To top that off I've had goose bumps all day. It's 28 degrees and I am really quite chilly. I may have to resort to jeans tomorrow but I'll try to hold out as even after 5 months even I can't make 1 pair of jeans last 3 weeks!
Ooops, I've digressed - sorry, back on track...,,
Breakfast stop at bakers - three Denmark twists and a wife cake. Denmark twists had yesterday and very nice, wife cake just had to be tried! All I can say is that whoever made it had either never been married, was very unhappily married or had undergone a particularly acrimonious divorce. Why anyone would fill dried up flaky pastry with wallpaper paste I don't know. We should have known they were bad from the number left on the display!
Quick stop for a drink to return our saliva levels to normal after the wife cake. This involved crossing the road at a nice safe zebra crossing with a little green man as well. Martyn decided to cross when road was clear but little man was red. Another little man in an official looking uniform told him off when he got to the other side. Yes, the police here apparently police the pedestrians and not the cars - maybe we should try this at home?
Once safely across the road and having pulled the 'oooopsie sorry I'm a tourist' card with the policeman we headed off on our planned day.

And then our plan to visit hong kong Island went to pot. We wandered past some museums and discovered it was International Museum Day so all entry was free. It was grey, a bit damp and I had goose bumps so when we happened across the Hong Kong museum of history in we popped. What a complete bargain - this place was really good. 8 exhibitions taking us through from prehistoric times, different ethnic peoples all the way to the handover back to China.
Two different approaches to foreign trade:
Portugese - see Chinese traders in India, head to Macau and lease some land from there to give you a foothold to trade from.
British - import lots of Chinese tea but export very little to china. Balance up the economics by trading opium until 10 million Chinese are addicted. Take offence when the Chinese try to stop you trading your highly addictive narcotic, go to war, win Hong Kong!
Oh dear.
Interesting displays on the Japanese bombing and occupation of Hong Kong during WWII as well.
Quite fascinating. Five hours, lunch, sore feet and full heads later out we popped blinking into the still grey sky.
Couldn't quite decide what to do for the rest of the day so had a cake (well small pastry) - Martyns lemon and raisin Danish beat my blueberry pastry hands down! Then wandered along a bit further to see what was on at the cultural centre - nothing, but we did find the Space Museum.
Also really good - and free - and warm! Apparently there is a Chinese belief that the earth was formed from a little old dwarf and when he died his sweat formed the rivers and seas and other bits of him formed other stuff but I've forgotten - sorry. Gyroscopes, telescopes, space shuttles, rockets, moon walks, science fiction, stars, planets etc later out we popped with even more sore feet and even more full heads.
Realised at this point that there was not much point in getting ferry across to hong Kong so went and found dinner in shopping centre food court. This was after a quick look around which resulted in Martyn realising just how un-cheap Hong Kong is - after working out what the GBP price of a TShirt was he uttered the immortal phrase (and I have never heard him use this before and have no idea where he got it from...)
'you're havin' a giraffe (dramatic pause) - sideways'
I thought for a moment, got it, and then the laughter ensued. If anyone has any idea where my lovely husband picked up this phrase from please can they let me know. Honestly, you think you know someone .......,
Anyway, after all the yummy food and fresh stuff in Vietnam we craves some fruit so headed to supermarket. Unfortunately they had special offer on Durian. Held our noses and made it to the fruit. Then had to hold on to each other to stop ourselves falling over - more giraffe statements followed. This is not a typo ..... £10.80 for 12 strawberries.
We left when we could walk again and found a frozen yogurt that came with a topping of strawberries so had that instead!
Finished yogurt just in time to watch the Symphony of Light display and then back to hotel.
