its nice sitting on the ferry even thou u can reach the other island by MTR..





we r reaching the opposite pier:)

see the big clock?..its there since the colonial days..




HK space Museum! we visit the place on a Monday, when ppl are working...

so u wont expect crowds, which is a good day to have the whole place to u!




after the space museum, we went to SCience Museum!!, as expected there were no crowds!.haha.so we get to enjoy n as if we own the whole place..haha.

We are going to the PEAK today!
the famous peak of HK!.
the wax museum is also there!.

we bought combo tickets comprising of the tram ride, tickets to wax museum and to the sky terrace, which is the highest point of the peak:)

this is where u take the tram. its over 100 yrs old.



tram is coming!. it has its place in the history of hk. it was used to fetch Hk officials up n down the peak:)




the ride is about 15 min long and the tram is moving up at an angle ot 40-45 degrees. when it reaches the peak, its about 300-400m about sea level.haha.

there are alot of things to see at the top, which i did not expect, as i thought it will be just a land for ppl to see the skies and buildings of Hk.
