Monday Morning in Hong Kong





Our hotel was on the Kowloon side, and overlooking Victoria Harbor, as you can see here. As so often happens, we got up early the first day and so decided to stroll along the walkway on the water. The short building with the cool roof is the convention center. Victoria Harbor is a very busy waterway; boat and barge traffic is brisk and constant. As you can also see from the pictures, the humidity hangs in a sort of haze over the city (this was the case all through our travels on the mainland in South China as well). The temperature was comfortable, but the humidity was palpable.
