The Peak





Today we visited the Peak. And off course we took the train to the top. What a mistake. The ride was very expensive and the wait was very long...
The first train became in service in 1888. Before the arrival of the train the people were transported by the sedan chair.

The view from the Peak is very beautiful. Luckily the weather was good so we could see Hong Kong in all its glory.

We strolled along the path through the forest. In the summer time a lot of people will go to the Peak because the forest provides a nice temperature.

We ordered some drinks at a bar and then we went back. We had returns tickets but we didn’t feel like waiting anymore, so we took a cab.

We had dinner with Paul and his family. He ordered Peking Duck for us. You are supposed to eat it with a sort of pancake. It was really nice!
