Day 16- Transit to Singapore

We flew to Singapore today, I come down pretty crook so not to much to report.
Enjoy the snaps!









Day 15- Last day in Hong Kong, Ocean Park and evening photos

Unfortunately our last day in HK, we will miss it the most out of any of the locations we visit.
Today we went to Ocean Park, explored there for most of the day then spent the evening on the waterfront followed by some last beers at our local!
Overall I didn't like the theme park, it is definitely more for families and also a few of the best rides were closed which seemed a bit of a rip off for the price.
The evening was nice, took some long exposure shots and explored, I have some photos I will share once I have edited at home!
We were craving a bit of home so we went to a burger place and had a tasty burger.

I made another time lapse as well which I shall attach, it was very hazy so please excuse the quality- Enjoy!

























Day 14- New years Day, Dim Sum & Victoria Peak

It's a little late, but Happy New Years Everyone!
Today we went to Causeway Bay and had Dim Sum for lunch, delicious but so so filling!
The place we ate at is called the Luk Yu Teahouse, I recommend it if you are ever in HK and after some, it is quite popular so there can sometimes be a line up.
Afterwards we walked to the tram to ride to Victoria Peak, it was insanely busy, we had to wait for well over an hour to get a tram ride up to the peak. It was well worth the wait, the view is amazing, I had seen the photos many times before but being there is much much better.
We stayed for sunset, I took ALOT of photos and a time lapse (I will share once I have edited). Afterwards the line for the tram back down was even longer than the line to get up there so we decided to walk the 5km back down. It was ridiculously steep, for my Adelaide people, it was very similar to some areas of the Mt Lofty walk, but the view back the whole way made it much more enjoyable.

Day 13- More exploring & New Years

Today we went to the art gallery in Hong Kong as there was an Andy Warhol exhibit display, pretty interesting reading about him and seeing alot of his work! Afterwards we wandering around the shorefront and made our way to Sky100, the tallest building in Hong Kong. Absolutely amazing views from the top of that!
We had a cruise booked for new years to watch the fireworks from the harbour! It was great to experience New Years and the fireworks in Hong Kong, something I have always wanted to to, can cross that off my list! Finally we went for a few drinks at our local pub. Overall a good day.
I attempted to shoot a timelapse from the boat, it only turned out about 5 seconds, not that great but i shall pop it up anyway with another time lapse I shot from our hotel, enjoy.
