Hong Kong journal ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Day 3

We had breakfast at Green Waffle again. Big iced lattes of various kinds. I had a "blue osmanthus". Walking back we saw two guys take their enormous dogs into the tiny 7-11.

We visited the Man Mo Temple which is just along Hollywood Rd from Marcus's place.Very attractive Chinese temple. Coils of incense like mosquito coils burning everywhere; open at the eaves. Tin trays catch the ashes. One crashed to the ground while we were in there.








From there we went down Ladder Street to catch a ferry over to the HK History Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). 


Ferry to Kowloon then we walked, through a rougher area. We had lunch at Subway. Even here are small shops selling luxury goods like Hennessy cognac, watches etc. The museum was really well done. Some projected animations onto black & white life-size recreations of rooms and exteriors. 

We popped in for a look at the K11 Musea luxury shopping mall

Back home to ours afterwards for a spell. We run the dehumidifier while we are out. It's pretty warm when we first come in but cools down fairly quickly with ceiling fan + AC.

In the evening back out again back over on a ferry to see the nightly sound & light show from the TST harbour edge "Avenue of Stars". Lasers and screens, massive. All over the harbour, as far up and down as we could see. 


On the way home we grabbed some takeaway snacks at the ferry terminal - rice triangles. Mine had a sautรฉed clam centre.


On the way back through Central we had an evening peep at the lobby of Marcus’s work; very impressive. He loves this painting.
