We all arrived back at the Pier from China but we had some dissension over how to return to HongKong side so the group split, with Roger, Gary, Michael and myself taking one way and Robert, David, Danny, Angela and Elizabeth taking a different way. The lads took a ferry to Wanchai and I took one to Central. The other group took the MTR. A quicker alternative. I disembarked and was so surprised to see so many of the HK maids having a market, essentially all the way up to St John’s Cathedral. It is almost an invasion of women!
I was so hot when I finally got back to the Helena May. Sheila was out at Lantau Island visiting the Big Buddha so I jumped in the shower to cool off. Soon we were thinking of food again! We decided to try a famous Noodle place in mid-levels,
Tsim Chai Kee in Wellington street was a Michelin starred restaurant a few years in a row. What we hadn’t realised was it was very small! A table for 7 was almost impossible to get but we waited for about 15 mins ( time enough for Roger and Sheila to join us) and we were in. It is really an eat and run place but the noodles were great!
In true HongKong tradition we then found a hole in the wall Dao Fu Fah dessert place. It took us so long to decide on what to eat the seven seats available were emptied and we moved in. Deeelicious! Sheila had a cigarette while we ate.
By now we were all tired but we still hadn’t had a cocktail at a rooftop bar with a view so Sheila, Roger and I decided to find a place nearby. The Fay on the 50 th floor had a pretty cool vibe and a great view (if you could see over the little hedge!).
As we walked in, the very glamorous and a bit haughty staff looked at us askance but we would be gone before any cool people arrived so we ignored them.
Tomorrow is the whole point of the trip so need to get to bed!
