Hong Kong day 2

We got up early and caught one of the tall, narrow trams into central, then got the tram to the top of Victoria Peak - it goes up at a really steep angle.  It was very cold at the summit where we did th circular walk, about 1 and 1/2 hours.

Wearing all our winter layers, the wind was biting!

Finally the sun came out hazily.


At the botanical gardens.  Warmer back down from the mountain and we began to take our layers off.

Not a giant red kiwi -ibis.

The zoo was within the botanical gardens and mostly consisted of caged monkeys


...whereas at the old prison complex there were cells that had once caged people.  The whole complex is now an arts and heritage centre with lots going on.

At the heritage and arts centre


We also checked out more markets with strange food...

...and meat sold in alleyways.
