On day 3 we headed to Victoria's Peak which is a major viewing point of the city and you take a tram ride to go up to the top. The tram was a lot steeper than I thought and is about a 15 minute ride to the top. Once at the tops, you have 360 degree views of the city and it was truly breathtaking! This is a major tourist attraction in Hong Kong and I was so glad we did it, the views of Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong, and the Kowloon side were amazing! At the top there was a lot of shopping and restaurants and we spent a few hours up there walking around, having lunch and taking it all in!
At night we had dinner at a really yummy Thai restaurant and then went back to the SOHO area with all the bars to meet a bunch of Damian's shipmates for a night out! On the weekends in this area they actually close the streets down so that people trickle out of the bars and into the streets and everyone just stands around in the streets drinking It was pretty neat and very chill. One thing that was very surprising was the amount of people from the US, UK, and Australia that live and work in Hong Kong. It seemed like a lot of people. It is a major business hub of the world and the economy seems to be doing pretty good there which blows my mind because of all the high end shopping! There is a lot of money in Hong Kong!
We went to a "ice bar" where is is basically a huge meat locker with ice blocks on all the walls and they give you fur coats to put on before entering the bar for drinks. We all went in and had 1 shot in there before the novelty of it all wore off and it was just plain COLD in there!The bar was called "42 Below" and it sure felt like it! It only fit about 25 people in there and people were constantly going in and out, it's not a place you would go and spend the entire night!
It was a late night but a really fun night and I think everyone had a really good time!
