| The smog followed us to Hong Kong. Across Victoria Harbour towards Hong Kong island from Tsim Sha Tsui. |
 |
| Meeting up with friends from Calgary for dinner at a seafood dai pai dong (food stall-type restaurant) located in the upper level of a parking lot. |
 |
| Yes, this is beer in a rice bowl. And yes, they served it that way for everyone. |
 |
 |
| My first squid ink pasta. Looks horrible, but surprisingly tasty. |
 |
| Night 2 - dim sum dinner |
 |
| Xiao Long Boa (Shanghai soup dumpling) |
 |
| View from a rooftop bar - Victoria Harbour across to Tsim Sha Tsui. |
 |
| This building kept going into the clouds - well, into the smog. |
 |
| We spent an afternoon cycling to Plover's Cove. Will, who was suffering from some travel bug, was a real trooper. |
 |
| Fishing along the cycling path. |
 |
| Thankfully most of the route was on a divided cycling path. |
 |
| Cycling to Plover's Cove with a Buddha watching over a village in the background. |
 |
| Exploring side streets in Wan Chai |
 |
| Taking the tram to Victoria Peak |
 |
| The tram goes up an impressively steep track. |
 |
| A smoggy view from the top. |
 |
| Central Hong Kong, with Victoria Harbour and Tsim Sha Tsui in the background. |
 |
 |
| More dim sum! Baked BBQ pork buns |
 |
| Turnip cake |
 |
| Ha gao (steamed shrimp dumplings) |
 |
| Hong Kong's grungier side - because we had to do something other than eat. |
 |
| A break from Chinese food for Japanese ramen. |
 |
| A friend introduced us to the best dan tat (egg tarts) in Hong Kong. |
