World Cruise 2013
March 13, 2013
Today was the second night we spent on the ship parked in Victoria Harbor. At
8:30 AM I left on a tour called “Hong Kong Highlights”. The ship was parked in
Kowloon and to get to the Hong Kong, which is located across the harbor from
Kowloon where the ship was parked in Victor Harbor, you must cross under
Victoria Harbor by tunnel. We got to the entrance of the tunnel at about the
same time as people were going to work and there was a big traffic jam waiting
to get into the tunnel. After we got thru the tunnel we drove to the start of
the Peak Tram for a ride up to the top of Victoria Peak to enjoy the panoramic
view of Hong Kong and the Kowloon Peninsula. The view was great but the smog
and fog of Hong Kong distorted the view. The bus met us at the top and we then
set off for Stanley peninsula on the southeast coast of Hong Kong Island. We
stopped at Stanley Market, which specialize in sports shoes, clothing and
Chinese Handicrafts. Our next stop was at Aberdeen where fishermen and their
families live on thousands of junks and sampans. We took a boat ride on a
sampan, a small boat to get a good look at the homes on the water, the boats and
yachts in the harbor and the floating restaurants. Our last stop was at the
Aberdeen Jewelry Factory, where we had a jewelry making demo and a tour of their
show room. We started back to the ship via the tunnel and arrived at the ship
at 2:10 PM.
Below are some pictures taken from the ship and my tour.
