Downtown Hong Kong to Victoria Peak

Yesterday we spent the whole day flying over the Pacific. We started on our way to San Francisco when a cancelled flight to Oakland left us rubbing shoulders with some devout Golden State Warriors fans. Needless to say the Utah Jazz/Golden State Warriors trash talking began. We were lucky enough to receive minute-to-minute updates on the game by cell phone while sitting on the airplane. It made for a fun flight, and in the end the Jazz came out on top in overtime! And even in Taipei, we read about the Utah Jazz in a Taiwanese Newspaper!

We landed in Hong Kong at 9:45am jet-lagged but ready to explore the city! We started by walking around Central to admire the magnificent skyscrapers in downtown Hong Kong.

We made a short visit to see the historic St. John’s Cathedral:

We rode the famous Peak Tram for the best view of Hong Kong and the harbor:

From the observation terrace on top of the Peak Building we enjoyed this view and lots of wind:
