Satursday 12th September - My Very First Visitor!

My lovely cousin Maria and her friend Livvy came through Hong Kong en route from Thailand to Australia this week for a few days and I was lucky enough to be able to spend the day with them on Saturday which was lovely since they were my first visitor!

After having left their HUGE backpacks with me at the flat, we headed off to Stanley Market, on the south of the Island. The weather was lovely, and we wandered around the labrinth of stalls and shops there and then went to an amazing cafe where we had fresh juice and cakes which was such a treat! The waterfront was lovely, full of restaurants (pizza express! - little bit too excited!) and bars and cafes, which looked out over the waterfront and a really pretty covered pier too. It was very peaceul and a really nice way to spend a saturday afternoon. We also went to visit Tin Hau temple which was nearby who is, if I remember rightly the goddess of the seas and who in her lifetime, saved many lives out at sea and so there are many temples and shrines made to her around Hong Kong.

I wish Maria and Livvy a wonderful rest of trip around the world as they depart on the next chapter of their adventure! Thank you both for a lovely day!
