I’ve been wanting get to Hong Kong for ages – the expectation of a heady mix of East meets West – exotic yet still reassuringly familiar in parts. We’ve landed to unseasonably cold weather though – 10C – and everyone is wrapped up in hats, coats and gloves which isn’t what my immediate thought of what Hong Kong would be like.

We’re staying at the Eaton hotel in Kowloon, and with only a day and a half to see the city, we decided to go out and have a quick explore. Wandering down to Victoria Harbour, we were expecting to see the fantastic Hong Kong skyline – unfortunately though it’s so foggy today that we could barely make out the lights on the opposite shore – one for tomorrow!

Walking back to the hotel we stopped for a delicious first Chinese meal at the Kam Shan Seafood restaurant before heading back to the hotel to get some well deserved rest!
