Hong Kong

In March a couple of girl friends, Holly and Jessica, and I took a trip to Hong Kong for 4 days. We left our husbands and kids home to fend for themselves as we prepared ourselves for more sight seeing then we figured we could fit into our 4 short days.




We arrived with just enough time to walk down the waterfront to the Hong Kong Walk of Fame.







Riding the trolley to enjoy the beautiful view at Victoria Peak.







Inside Buddhist Temples



where they burned incense, and lots of it!












One of my favorite stops, Lantau Island




Here we enjoyed visiting a fishing village with stilt houses and white Chinese dolphins.






































Big Buddha




This is the world's largest outdoor, sitting Buddha statue. It was incredible.








































This was a 4 mile, 25 minute cable car ride from the Big Buddha




We even fit in a bit of shopping







Where I found out I really do like coconut (the real stuff that is!)











Ocean Expo Amusement Park












After 4 days of exploring all we could fit in and on minimal sleep, a foot massage was just what we needed.
