Hong Kong (9/10)

High over Hong Kong having gone up on the Peak tram which was once thought to be too hard a route for horses - so the westerners used to get carried up by men in sedan chairs instead.

And we spent a day at Ocean Park - an aquarium and theme park where of course the carousels have pandas not horses. The park is bulit on the side of a steep mountain so the fabulous roller coasters hang out over the bay which makes for great rides.

And having just finished National week the locals are now gearing up for Halloween which seems to be fairly full on here. All the stalls are selling costumes, the parties are being lined up and the theme parks have their displays.
