Hong Kong day 7 & 8

It was forecast to rain all day again today, so I paid a visit to a few museums in central. First stop was Hong Kong history museum which was extremely disappointing as all but one exhibit was closed for refurbishment. The one exhibit that I did quickly look around was about the ancient history of China, which wasn't really what I wanted to learn about! The space museum was less disappointing, was definitely more catered towards kids, however there were some nice exhibits to look round. I also caught a show in the planetarium, which I accidentally fell asleep for half of, but it was a good nap. My favourite place of the day was the Hong Kong museum of Art! It had a range of different exhibits, as well as tall glass windows on each of the five floors looking out onto the harbourside of Hong Kong island.
In the evening I walked along the waterfront which was bustling with people, before finding a vegetarian restaurant for dinner. It was bizarrely on the second floor of an apartment building which I had to get the lift up to. It reminded me of a small school cafeteria, ran by a few ladies and full of locals. Was extremely reasonable and pretty tasty.
The next day the heavens opened up, Yesterday there was a yellow warning for rain and a possible typhoon warning, neither of which happened, so the weather seemed to be making up for it today.
I was a little museum-ed out and didn't see much point of trying to hike in the rain so I had a very lazy island day. In the evening I introduced Sanguma to the film Ponyo which I think she enjoyed, but she also might have fallen asleep half way through after having a whisky 😅Leer más
