HK Day 2 (Back log)

Feeling better after much needed rest, I'm sure many out there understand that once the flow of work gets interrupted, it's a bitch to get back to it seeing all the back logs. Yes its one of those days.

On the first day of arrival I've uploading my first batch of photos, while on the second day Cow actually hogged my laptop... and hence from then all updates are nothing but painful back logs...

Second day here in the land of Dim Sums (ironically we've yet to try them) managed to meet up with Ian and his missus, she's such a gem. If only they stayed longer, some girly time around here would be nice.

Since we were still recovering from the two flights, strolled around the habour area down at the cultural hall followed by supper and ended our day out short.

If there's one word to describe what type of traveller I am, ... I'd say I'm a rat.

I like to explore alleys rather than grace through high street,I prefer local delights rather than sitting in some fancy restaurants sipping champagine, I would rather stay in a B & B than in some posh five star hotel.

I'm a rat, one of those rat with more guts than sense.

Since this is a back log (lol) I'd like to fast forward time to our fifth day here. Walking down the back streets and unwittingly stumbled upon the night market down in Temple Street, one Indian fella mumbled "copy bags?" and the Cow lost sight of me. After ten minutes of calls from him, I reappeared from a dark corner. Yes he gave me a good scolding, but that was just fun.

That's how I like to travel, like a rat....

I never liked travelling with tour groups, walking around gives me a better feel of the country I'm in. Free and easy IMHO is the best way to travel if time allows. Next week I might just make plans to venture out on my own when the Cow's in school.,provided I can drag myself outta bed early enough to do that.
