We keep putting off the touristy things here in favour of the indoor activities in the perhaps misguided hope that this rain will clear... this however presents 2 problems, 1 we are running out of indoor activities and 2, we are running out of time. We are off to Macau tomorrow and still have not done the peak or the giant buddha, 2 things high on our list.
So, stuff it. We are cranking out our umbrellas (one trend we aren't partaking in just yet is the designer gumboots) and heading to the peak tonight.
This morning we had an interesting excursion to do some laundry, a simple task? Not bloody likely. We shot off to the island with our sacks in hand chasing the "by the pound" laundry stores lonely planet speaks of, the 1st one was closed down, the 2nd one only did per item, 10 times the cost and the 3rd one we found eventually couldn't give them to us by Tomorrow as it is a public holiday here and were shut. This mind you, was in the pouring rain and really not that much fun.
So pissed off, we trudged back to the hotel only to find, on the 9th floor, a freaking self service laundry, FUCK!!! All for just $80, washed and dryed (about $10 Aussie... Not happy!
This was all good, except for the fact that I didn't think to check my pockets for the enormous red paper ticket that was in there... Oh, did I mention that it was in the dark load? Red Fluff everywhere. Not happy. Shirts were ruined, a quick text to mum (aren't they great) had it all sorted - in the dryer rick, keep emptying the filter. Good as new. So now, after a 6 hour laundry stint.. We are clean and heading out for a touch of retail therapy.... Aaahhh Hong Kong!!!
