Hi!

Today is a bit cloudy. I always start by talking about the weather don't I? Must be an English thing. Anyway nevermind, yes today is a bit cloudy but still pretty warm. We went to Stanley this morning. We took the double-decker bus so I could have a good view as we went around The Peak and over to Stanley. There we went to the famous Stanley markets which was fab. I got some new board-shorts and a couple of mint bags. There were loads of shops and stalls selling clothes, souvenires and bags. The clothes on sale weren't as trendy as the markets I went to yesterday (which probably a good thing as it meant I didn't want as much!) but there were more labels, real labels that is (so I actually spent more, hmm...). Anyway, it wasn't too busy which was good. We then walked along the waterfront and caught a taxi to the HK Cricket Club where we had lunch. We had Indian (only the second Indian I've had since coming away!) and it was very nice. It started to rain but soon cleared up. Its still pretty overcast though. I was going to walk up to the top of the peak for a view over HK but its not really the weather for it. Maybe on Monday when its suppoed to be fine. Tommorrow we are going out on a junk - perfect to top up my tan before leaving!

lots of love
Helenxxx
