Knock, knock...

Woowsiers this place is busy!!!

Today began with a little bit of bread and croissants down in the subway on the way to the Big Buddha and the surrounding attractions. The cable car to the top of the mountain area was daunting to begin with, Jordan quietly whispered, "That thing goes pretty fast..." It did. Very enjoyable.

Cable car - hang on Jordan.

Once on top of the mountain the team explored the Big Buddha, the chopstick gallery and the monastery. Spencer announced to the group  that the vegetarian lunch thrown on by our guests was something to write home about.

Once fed and enlightened the group hopped back on the cable car to return for, wait for it... some more shopping.

Gus with a 3D Buddha picture = cool. 

Our feet were screaming for a rest, so we headed back to our accommodation to recharge the batteries. The next task was to negotiate the Temple Street Night Markets - famous for its fortune tellers, terrible karaoke and cheap knock offs. It's fair to say that there were some hairy moments throughout the evening, plenty of people, lights and bargaining = nightmare for teachers. But as always we got through it and the kids picked up some amazing (cough) goods.





Hong Kong has been sensational - plenty of laughs, some tears but memories for a lifetime. The image below will remain etched in the minds of all those present forever. Long live 'The Mansions!'

Beijing tomorrow - hopefully we are able to access Blogger. We'll soon find out...
