We made it to The Peak.

Yesterday (20 March) afternoon Jason and I made it to Victoria Peak, "The Peak". We took the metro to Hong Kong Island / Central, walked a bit following the signs to the tram, purchased our tickets and rode up the awesome steep incline. At the apex, we took pictures, enjoyed the view and tried not to get blown away. We left just in time to miss the rain storm. We took the local #1 bus back to the ferry terminal. This ride was more frightening then the tram. Picture a top heavy double decker bus careening around a small steep mountain road. Today the activities include a 1 hour+ ferry ride to Macau (SAR), perhaps we will gamble.

Hi you guys,
I'm pleased that you made it to the tram and up to the top of Victoria peak. I'd love to do that again sometime. Also pleased to know that the grand old Peninsula Hotel is still standing. It's probably the only building in Hong Kong that I would recognize after all these years.
