A ding-ding ride 😀

I had walked over 20,000 steps by this stage of the day, so needing a rest, I caught a ding ding, which I loved. That's what they call the trams here in Hong Kong. It's already my favourite way to travel. They're double-decker trams. They remind me of the trams I used to ride on as a kid up and down the prom in Blackpool. They are very similar -  tall, narrow, double-deckers. 

I sat upstairs, both going and coming back. The windows were all open. You see all of human life in Hong Kong as you go past. I caught the ding ding up to Kennedy Town along the harbour and then came back. I wasn't particularly going to look at anything today. It was just a question of using the tram and it's inexpensive. It's about the only thing I've found so far that is inexpensive in Hong Kong! 😀 

After my ride, I transferred to the metro for the journey back to my hotel. On the way, I passed an unusual building. I've never seen a building built to look like a piece of luggage before. But that's exactly what they've done here in Hong Kong. It's a Louis Vuitton building made to look like a Louis Vuitton case, complete with gold coloured clasps to close it. Interesting 😀.

Round the corner from my hotel, I called at 7/11 to get some soft drinks and a yoghurt for breakfast. I have a fridge in my room, but it only works when I'm in there and have inserted the key in a special lock 😃.Read more
