All good things come to an end!

Well our last full day here so we decided to visit Hong Kong island again. They have apparently the largest escalator in the world (which is actualy lots of smaller ones together) Now this escalator was built by the rich people who live on the hill to enable them to get to work down in the business areas without wearing out those posh leather shoes! It goes down until 10am then goes up until the evening so up we went watching the world and it's washing go by until we came to one that was being repaired (me and steps dont get along well in Wales let alone in this heat). Got to the top in the end and figured there was nothing there so we came back down - stopping in a mexican restaurant for cocktails and Quesadilas.

Wandered around but if you dont like shopping then theres not much else in the centre, so we went to meet our ship/boat/junk and went on a free tourist ride around the harbour - pleasant enough and the poor feet were well rested. Speaking of which after our afternoon baths we went for to a seedy massage parlour down a back alley and had a reflexology foot massage each. New found feet again!! (though she hurt the bruise i got from falling up those paid for posh steps - yeah i know falling UP steps is meant to be lucky!

Well this is us signing out for now, dont know the internet situation in Beijing or (that other place which i cant say)in Hebei. Rest assured that no news is definately good news and we will probably be eating in some back alley/gutter looking for another 'super lucky bonus item' to amuse Jamie.
