Well we had a slightly late start to the day and just scraped in to breakfast before they stopped serving. We took the MTR to Central so that I could sign on at the Hong Kong Club as an absent member and use the facilities. This accomplished we headed in to Central, Queens Road area to look for any changes.
There is an escalator which runs up the side of the hill to Mid Levels and so went up and took a few photos. You can see the old and the new, side by side it was quite interesting.
After a walk through the old Western Market which was a food market when we were living there is now a mixture of shops and restaurants and I must admit they have a done a great job of improving it.
We then went on a Tram ride from one end of the line to the other and ended up in Shau Kei Wan where we walked through the food market. The freshest food you could see was amazing particularly the fresh fish shops where the fish are alive until you need a bit. There was a tray of fish heads where one of the fish head was still moving, not for the squeamish!
A quick MTR trip back to the hotel and a cup of tea and in the evening we went out for dinner with some old friends and colleagues. It was great to Archie Da Silva and Wolfgang and his wife Gigig a we had a really great evening reminiscing about the earlier air freight years in Hong Kong and the tricks of the industry.
Following dinner we hit off a couple of bottles of wine in a bar nearby.
It was a really great evening and good to see Archie and Wolfgang again.
Made a note must have an earlier night tomorrow.
