We walked around the Central district adjacent to the Conrad this morning, generally following this Frommer's route.
Later we took the MTR across to Kowloon and walked along the Avenue of Stars. We then spent an hour so in the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and finished up with a walk through Kowloon Park before returning to the hotel for awhile.
It's still too cloudy to make a trip up to Victoria Peak worthwhile, but even if we don't ascend, we've seen it before, albeit on an overcast day, and there are lots of other places we want to visit while we're here. It's a cool day by Hong Kong standards, but at a humid 81 degrees Farenheit we find it warm and sticky. That makes the hotel a pleasant refuge between excursions.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
