Hong Kong Day 3

Breakfast was at Luk Yu Tea House. It is a small dank second floor dim sum restaurant. Call me dim but I have never dined at a dim sum restaurant where you order your “pieces” like you would in a sushi restaurant. We sort of botched our order. I just assumed all servings were of one piece. I don’t know why on Earth I though this. So there I was putting a number 2 under quantity for each item. Needless to say what we got was a shit ton of food. At one point one of the waiters smiled and said too much in a heavy Chinese accent. It turned out to be our only meal of the day, so perhaps we did order the right amount in the end. Along with tea and dim sum we had a couple of beers which was refreshing.

Much to our surprise and pleasure the weather turned out to be the clearest it is has been since we arrived in Hong Kong. We decided a trek up Victoria peak would offer better viewing than on our previous visit, so we headed for the Peak Tram. The wait for the tram was significantly shorter compared to the wait we experienced on Saturday. Our decision was smart. The viewing conditions were dramatically better. We could see the whole of Kowloon. The conditions continued to improve while were up there. We could begin to see further and further away. After 45 minutes on the terrace we decided to relax and have a drink. Just two floors down was a nice bar with an amazing view of Hong Kong and Kowloon. After our refreshment we headed back down to the city.

It was time for more relaxation in our room. After our exhausting day in Kowloon on Sunday we were ready for some ass time. We got caught up on our Oscar news. At some point we both fell asleep. When I woke up it was dark our and Angela had a sour stomach. She decided to stay in, but I wanted to stroll around a bit.

I headed towards the Central District. After quite a long walk I stopped at this nice bar, Volume, had a couple beers, got a couple of new facebook contacts, and met some natives. The night was complete with a brisk walk back to the Cosmopolitan Hotel and some shut eye.
