Few hours in Guangzhou and off to Hong Kong

This morning we woke up early because we had to catch the train to Hong Kong. Luo and Mr. Zhu picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the train station. I saw people doing Tai Chi during our ride. Too bad we couldn’t stop to watch it more closely.

After a little bit of a delay we finally got on board of the train. The train ride was comfortable. I read my travellers book about Hong Kong to prepare myself for the next three days.

Paul picked us up from the train station. He knows Toine and Manon also through the business. He did not have enough space to transfer all of us to the hotel, so the guys took a taxi.
In Hong Kong they drive on the left side. Niki already made the mistake to step in the car on the wrong side.
The drive was not that long so we arrived very quickly at the Prudential hotel.

After putting our bags in our room we went to the bar in the hotel. We had some lunch and then we went of to go shopping.

Guy and I separated us from the group and after a stroll we ended up at a nice terrace at the harbour.

We wanted to go to the Hard Rock café. Toine and Manon had such great stories each time they went to Hong Kong so we had to see it!
But what’s the case: Hard Rock café is closed! What a bummer. We were really looking forward to the bands and ambiance. We eventually ended up in an Italian restaurant and we had a great dinner.
