Hong Kong: the Third Day/Night 2

We were about to call it a night, and I was more than ready to head back to the comforts of my hotel bed, but I suddenly caught a second wind, and, inspired by the fact that it was going to be our last night there in Hong Kong, we walked for a final time to Tsim Sha Tsui, to the bayside.

And this is what we were rewarded with:


These pictures barely do it justice. It was like a 'Wow.' moment. It was also like a, 'Why am I here with a guy?' moment. Sigh.

You literally had your breath taken away when you first see the sights of Hong Kong Island at night. And all your doubts about whether this was the right vacation spot to have gone to just fades away. All the head colds, all the brisk people, all the painful feet from endless walking was suddenly overawed by this spectacle before you.

We spent a good hour just basking in the neon lights streaming from across the island before walking around a little more, with the holiday final night blues kicking in.

Among other things seen that night:

Quick, guess what they sell!


Time ticking down on our last night


A rudimentary Google Earth: I live here! The tunnel leading to the Science Museum.


A neck ripe for vampires. Although they would probably go for my nose, if you could only see how red it was! Now, can anybody please tell me where the heck Tsim Sha Tsui is?

We bought just a few more things that night before finally making our way back to the hotel room. We were exhausted from all the walking, yet, satisfied.
