Starting slightly later today after spending the morning picking up laundry and organising for the next leg our our trip, we wanted a more chilled out wander round Hong Kong for our last full day here.
Hong Kong: Day 5

Hong Kong: Day 3
After yesterday’s mountain climb we wanted to take today a little easier, it turns out we didn’t. We decided to stay on the mid-levels and explore just a little further east on the Island today, and see what else there is to see.
Hong Kong: Day 1
After last night’s slight detour we got up and checked out of our hotel around midday (another shout out to Shamrock Hotel for saving our skins) and headed straight to our new home for the next 5 nights on Hong Kong Island.
Tokyo: Day 4
Day 4 in Tokyo and I think if one word could sum up today, it would have to be rain. Rain has been ever present today, sometimes just a bit of wet in the air, and other times bouncing off the pavement. But at all times: rain.
Tokyo: Day 2
Day 2 started by awaking from our 14hour sleep! We must have needed it with the jetlag, exhaustion from travelling and then a full day walking and exploring a new city. So we started slightly later than the day before and we headed out to explore just before midday. It’s lucky we left when we did though as we caught the end of a Japanese Parade for the Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri: A festival with over 50 teams who parade the streets with (very heavy) Mikoshi shrines while thousands of spectators throw water at them. The energy was excellent and it certainly was a sight to see!
