Honkers by maggiemae

Honkers

aka Hong Kong.
Our window in the hotel looked out on this busy sea with all sorts of boats going in different directions. Junks, barges, cruise ships, ferries, tugs.

Three good things:
1. Super breakfast experience - over 42 dishes to choose from. I tries some odd balls that were cooked in a pot of boiling stock and John said they were just lambs balls! Actually just varieties of sausage.
2. Couldn't find a cord that charge my camera but did find a battery charger for the battery. After hours of walking! The markets were so colourful and busy!
3. A tapas bar in the hotel was extremely noisy but had wonderful cocktails and food based on parma ham!
Marvelous! Some day I want to see Hong Kong! Thanks for sharing, Maggie.

Nice skyline shot. We got a lot of amusement from all the little boats on the water when we were in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Like you said -- all directions, all kinds....all day! Very interesting.

@maree_sanderson Doesn't appear too bad, Maree but there has been thick fog over everything most times!

I never knew the nickname for Hong Kong was Honkers. 1 & 3 sounds like a gourmet paradise. Around the world in 80 dining experiences is a great start to the trip. Enjoy. I like the contrast between the skyscrapers and the old boat with red sails.

Brings back happy memories from last year - I have a very similar shot complete with haze!
April 21st, 2016  
Great shot. Just wondering if the haziness of the shot is smog as I know the air quality there is woeful at times.
