New things we did today

Today was my first go on the MTR, the Hong Kong equivalent of the tube, but efficient and clean.
We used the MTR to travel to and from the Island for cat visiting.

On the way there we took a taxi to see the catties, but on the way back we were brave and hopped on a bus. It said it was going to central station, which is where we wanted to be.

The Octopus card came into its own. You just charge it up and use it for your public transport. That meant we could get on the bus without concern.

It all worked out well and we did find the Central MTR station without difficulty.

oooo errr missus - never blogged b4!

How utterly refreshing to view Hong Kong, whilst sitting in Abu Dhabi, through your eyes.

Hope you're having a ball. LOVE your new pad - nice one. SK and Lantau are probably the best places to live in HK.

Things good this end - Leo and I found a house in the UK so things hottin' up our end. Yipeeee.

If he gets another extension on UAE contract will visit HK later this year. Stay in touch and pls send your contact numbers (mobiles and the like).

Love to Ian and the girls
