It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...

The rain must have followed us from Hong Kong. I am going to need a raft to get to work pretty soon if all this rain continues. The mornings are cloudy but by lunch time the sky is a dark grey and the streets are full of puddles. We had a huge thunder storm today with continues thunder for at least two hours. There wasn’t even time to count in-between the lightening and thunder to see how far away it is. It would be a good day to curl up by the fireplace with a good book, a cozy quilt, and a mug of hot chocolate. Too bad they do not have fireplaces here.

Back to Hong Kong. The best view of the city is from Victoria Peak. The 20 min tram ride that climbs the hill feels like the old wooden roller coaster at Playland. On the other hand, the bus ride down from the Peak was like the Wild Mouse ride at Playland. There were so many twists and turn on a very narrow street and we were riding in a double decker bus.
The observation deck would be a great place to sit back relax, enjoy a lunch and the view if it wasn’t raining. I braved the rain in 5 minute increments so I could have a few token pictures. Notice the dark rain cloud hanging about the buildings and the large raindrops on my shirt.
Hong Kong is divided into several parts, Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories, Lantau Island, Lamma Island, and Cheung Chau. We spent most of our time between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island the busiest part of Hong Kong.
I also found this road at the top of the Peak. Our family has a street named after them and it is located at one of the busiest and touristy places in Hong Kong.
