Hong Kong.  We had a beautiful sail into the harbor about one hour earlier that we had expected and docked on the Kowloon side of the harbor.  By 8 am the ship was very busy with a turnover of about 500 passengers as one segment ends and another begins.  We took a tour even though we have been here before, it is always a good idea to get out of the way as the hallways get crowded with lots of luggage and laundry and every crew member is very busy.  Our tour was more oriented to how the locals live since we had previously done all the tourist things.
We had a small tour group and were on a small bus so were able to maneuver in the traffic very well.  We made our way through the tunnel to Hong Kong. Our first stop was a "dry" market where an endless variety of dried fish, seafood, mushrooms, etc was displayed.  Every shop seemed to be selling the same things and most was even displayed in a similar manner.  Next we visited a "wet" market where shops sold fruits, vegetables, meats, flowers, etc.  After walking through this market we boarded a double decker tram that was crowded with locals.  We rode a short distance and went into a local cafe where we were served a very tasty egg custard tart and a choice of coffee, tea, or "yin yang" a combination of tea, coffee and milk.  Noel chose the tea and Tom tried the yin yang.  The tea was so strong that even with milk and sugar Noel could not drink it.  Tom was able to drink the yin yang.  We got back on our small bus and made our way back across to the Kowloon side where we visited a temple and walked around a jade market.
After returning to the ship for a late lunch we went into the huge shopping center that is connected to the cruise terminal.  Noel was looking for some warmer clothes.  This was not the place to shop for bargains, even a poorly made sweatshirt was $50, needless to say, we did not buy anything.  We had dinner and then went up on the top deck to see the evening light show that happens every night at 8pm.  We sailed out of the harbor at 9 pm and were treated to one of the most spectacular skylines in the world.
Hong Kong continues to change with new buildings and a high speed train line is being built to connect Beijing and Hong Kong.  There are still under currents and concerns about Hong Kong being changed into mainland China, but it appears to be inevitable.
