Another day in the fantastic city of Hong Kong was ahead of us. Once we had breakfast we were on our way to The Peak. We knew beforehand that the tramway to the Peak was closed due to refurbishment, so we headed straight to the bus stop. Luckily we arrived pretty early, because the line for the bus got pretty long quickly. Thankfaully we caught one of the first buses and nearly an hour later we finally made it to the Peak. The bus ride to the top was an attraction of its own, because out seats were on the second floor of the doubledecker bus and the street was very narrow with a steep hillside. I'm not afraid of heights, but here I wasn't very comfortable all the time. Today we were really lucky with the weather and so we got an amazing view over Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. After checking out the small shopping center we took the bus back into the city.

Back in the city we stopped at Starbucks for an iced coffee and to figure out what to do next. Since it was already noon we decided to get something to eat and chose to eat at Veggie SF. However, chosing the restaurant was so much easier than finding it. In Hong Kong restaurants might be on the 26th floor with just a small sign right next to an elevator and Veggie SF was no exception, but we finally found the restaurant. Apparently the owned was a big fan of the United States with all the decorations paying tribute to Las Vegas or California. So it was no surprise that the food was also a mixture of Chines and American cuisines. A delicious lunch later we headed back out again. The rest of the afternoon we spent exploring shopping centers and the government district until we took the metro back to Kowloon. In the evening we went to the shopping center next to our hotel, bought some souvenirs and got a couple of drinks at a Spanish restaurant and bar.
