Second day in Hong Kong!

Although this is the second day it's really the first, yesterday was getting over the flight and jet lag.
Today was very sunny but COLD!
We took the underground for the very first time, it was clean, easy to understand and punctual, everything Roma isn't!! Well, understand in Rome isn't hard there are only 2 lines!!
We went to the Lantau Island.  That meant a cable car ride of 800 meters high.  We chose the glass bottom cable car and that in itself was an experience.











After getting off the cable car we visited the Po Lin Monastery and the Giant Buddha which was a climb of 250 steps, but well worth the shortness of breath.




We also took a tour bus to see the Tai O fishing village which was very characteristic, and smelly!!!!!











Back to the hotel and our free happy hour, which is not only drinks but food as well  So far we haven't had to worry about supper.
