Last night in hong kong

On our last night in Hong Kong, the weather cleared up and we finally got the chance to do the touristy thing and go up to the peak, which gives the most spectacular views of the city. The most exciting part of going up to the peak is the 120 year old tram that you catch to get up to it.

We spent some time at the peak taking photos of the beautiful city and decided we had had enough and made our way back down to the tram station, to find the longest line in the history of tram lines...seriously it had about 400 people... all waiting to get back down from the peak on the two trams that run every 3 mins. We both rolled our eyes and made our way to the end of the line, and waited for about 10mins before rick dashed off to see if there was a taxi rank. AND YES THERE WAS!!! So we jumped out of the line, yelled "suckers" and caught a cab back down from the peak. We asked to be taken to the city hall, which was where we wanted to have dinner, "what is ... city hall?", the cabby asked. We eventually got dropped off at the city hall, after the cabbie had a lady over his radio translate city hall for him.

At City Hall, we had read in the Lonely Planet that there was a dim sum restaurant that was a "must do" whilst in Hong Kong. But when we finally got to this restaurant at 10pm (the opening times said till 11pm), to have a waiter reluctantly lead us to a table and to find that there was no dim sum at dinner time, menu only! That was ok, we ordered off the menu and the other customers left to leave me and rick to be the only 2 people in this large dinner hall with all the waiters packing up the tables. The food was actually delicious. We headed home to bed, to get some rest for our last big day in hong kong
