Dear Family and Friends,
We arrived here Friday (your Thursday) where the two couples (J-B and C-L) waved good-bye at the train station at Kowloon just across the bay from Hong Kong island, with different sleeping plans for the next two days. C and L headed for Central City (Wan Choi, to be exact) and J and B for Bob's friends' Jonathan and Louisa, apartment on the Lantau Island.This is our transition place, a blend of Asian and Western ways.
Honk Kong is amazing- lights, tall buildings, glorious food and enough shopping for the crazed!. Together and apart, we found many different aspects of this sea of islands and cultures and possibilities.
Bob and Joanie, are staying in a 60 floor (tiny) high rise apartment... yikes... viewing one of the many harbors. Yesterday, they biked on this island for seven hours in remote spaces- no cars or houses for long distances and steep hills . Who knew, so close to Hong Kong!?? Carolyn and Larry culture-vultured in museums , concert halls, and outdoor light shows. Saturday and Sunday, we joined together for city going; We explored markets, many ferry rides, escalators, tram ride up Victoria Peak and hiked down, explored parks, antique shops, mushroom-seaweed -fungus markets, and so much more. This is a city of lights and waterways and colliding images from all of Southeast Asia and around the world.
Now, we come home. See you all soon. Our 24 hours of travel will cross many time zones and worlds.
Forgive us if we don't speak the language!
Love, The Bob-a-Longs! J, C, L, J
