We walked over to the Star Ferry Terminal to go across Victoria Harbor to Hong Kong Island. The top thing on Finley’s to do list was to ride on the top of the double decker tram. She instantly spotted a pink one as soon as we approached the street. We ended up boarding a mint green tram to ride to the end of the line. We even had seats at the front on the top level. We walked around the area a bit and then got back on a double decker tram to head over to The Peak Tram. The Peak Tram is an incline train that goes to The Peak (naturally.) This wasn’t Finley’s first ride on an incline train, she had ridden the one in Montmatre in Paris last year.
At The Peak we got a little lost in the mall where the train lets off. We kept going up and down, down and up, never finding a way to exit. The main exit was under construction, so we could see where we were supposed to go, but not where we could go now. We finally found the exit and Finley played a bit in the old Peak Tram car. We then went to the roof deck to check out the view. Finley had fun looking through the binoculars. We then grabbed an ice cream snack and sat outside enjoying the view of the mountains to the south.
We took the Peak Tram back down the mountain and headed to the MRT to head back to the hotel for an earlier nap. No one was hungry after ice cream and Finley got some good rest in. We were out and about a little early for dinner. We walked along Nathan and Mody roads, but finding somewhere to eat was proving to be a bit of a challenge. If you needed a watch, camera or jewelry, you were set, but we were finding it was not yet dinner time at most restaurants. We ended up eating in a crazy food court in an underground shopping mall. The food was good, but there were no napkins to be had. Which proves to be a challenge with a four year old.
We headed back to our hotel room to watch the harbor light show. Our room provides the perfect view of the show and we figured it was easiest to watch it from there in jammies.
