I have been to the City of Lights - Hongkong several times. This time I went to Hongkong with my mom for a 3 days / 2 nights vacation including a side trip to Macau. The package tour costs 144 USD per person which includes transfers from one place to another because its cheaper that way. We stayed at Rambler Oasis Hotel with daily breakfast, half day city tour and tickets to Macau tour The reason that I opted to take this package was because of my mom who cannot go on a DIY (Do-it-yourself) style of traveling.

We arrived at HK International Airport at 9:30 am and meet our tour guide Mr. Chan at the airport tourist lobby. We reached Rambler Oasis Hotel at 10 am but we cannot check in at that time since check in time was exactly 2 pm. We have no other choice but to wait for the check in time. By 11 am, we decided to have lunch at McDonald's. The concierge was kind enough to assist us in talking with the taxi driver to take us to McDonald's MTR station. Fare is 25 - 30 HKD. We stayed in McDonald's until 2:30 pm and went back to the hotel.

At 3:30 pm, we rested and waited for our tour guide to fetch us by 6 pm for the night tour of HongKong including dinner. Please note that the night tour was an additional tour offered by the tour operator. We paid additional 350 HKD per person. By 6 pm we are on the bus for our night tour of the city. Our first stop was the Avenue of the Stars at the Victoria Harbour.

Our last destination for the tour was the Victoria Peak. Its a mall and residential units on top of a mountain. The temperature that time was 14 degrees Celsius. It was freezing cold and we cannot clearly see the night view of HK from the top because of thick fog. We then proceeded to see the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and took some pictures instead. While the rest of the tourists went on shopping.
We left the Peak at 10:30 pm and reached our hotel by 11:30 pm.
That's how we spent our Day 1 in Hongkong. Please check our Day 2 adventures in Hongkong on my next post.
For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off. The world is rotting away, dying piecemeal. But it needs the coup de grace, it needs to be blown to smithereens. Not one of us is intact, and yet we have in us all the continents and the seas between the continents and the birds of the air. We are going to put it down- the evolution of this world which has died but which has not been buried. Cheap Flights to Hong Kong
