This morning the ship arrived at 7:00 AM. It was dark, so I didn’t bother setting up the timelapse.
Since the museum I wanted to go to didn’t open until 10 AM I rested a while before going out. The weather was quite foggy and dismal as well.
One of the malls organized a free shuttle to the mall which had a nearby MTR station. I walked to an HSBC ATM and got some Hong Kong dollars.
When I got to the MTR station there was a long line for the tickets. I bought two one day passes so I didn’t need to wait in line tomorrow. They were only 65 HKD each (less than $10).
I got to the Hong Kong history museum which was free and very large. There was quite a bit of information in the museum and a few videos.

I went to go eat at a Michelin star restaurant, but because of Chinese New Year they closed before I got there (literally minutes before I arrived). I took a bus to another of their restaurants and it was worth the trouble.

I walked into Kowloon park, which was pretty quiet, except for the birds in the aviary.

Slip away from Tsim Sha Tsui’s shopping mecca into the tranquil Kowloon Park. Originally housing an army fortress, its Chinese Garden is now a popular peace haven – and a platform for weekly lion dances.
I kept walking to the Avenue of the Stars. Unfortunately the weather is really foggy and it is hard to see the buildings in Victoria harbor.

I stayed for the Symphony of Lights.

A Symphony of Lights is the spectacular light and sound show at Victoria Harbour which incorporates a dazzling array of colourful lights synchronised to music and narration.
After the Symphony of Lights I took a bus that got me most of the way to the cruise terminal. I couldn’t find the bus stop for the small bus to take me the rest of the way to the cruise terminal, so I decided to walk as it didn’t seem so far.
After getting back on the ship I had a couple of cocktails, some food at O’Sheehans and tried to use some of the Wi-Fi from the cruise terminal.
I packed my suitcase and set it outside the cabin.
