Happy Anniversary

By criswellclarion

Today is our seventh anniversary. After waking up from our big sleep, we had breakfast and started out on our day. We saw several parts of Hong Kong island, but the highlight was The Peak aka Victoria Peak, the highest mountain in Hong Kong. The tram up the mountain goes straight up the side at a rather steep angle. When we reached the top and made it outside of the tourist trap, we were in a nice little mountain village shrouded in mist and surrounded by lush green growth, which made the walks fun. Unfortunately the mountain was so shrouded in mist that we could not see anything below. We had lunch in a nice restaurant with glass walls that maximized our view of the mist. By the end of lunch we could just make out some of the nearest skyscrapers.

The rest of the day was taken up with seeing the excessive shops of Causeway Bay, having tea in a greasy spoon in Wan Chai and meandering our way back to our hotel through a night market.

Oh, and Charlotte started standing unaided today. It is quite fun watching her stand up, waiver for a few seconds and plop back down.
