Three ladies

I finally arrived in Tokyo, but first I must tell you about my sightseeing in Hong Kong last thursday. I googled to find out some of the sights in Hong Kong and decided to go for the Peak and the junk boat (a chinese sailing boat used in the 19th century). First I had to go to the tourist information center not far away from my hostel which was situated in the center of Hong Kong. Arriving at the tourist information and fixing the ticket for the junk boat, a woman and her two kids sat down just next to me to get some information of the same sights. When I was finished I overheard their conversation and decided to ask her if they wanted to join me to the peak. She accepted and together the four of us headed for the peak. Jill was her name and her daughters Eve and Ella. Jill was from England, currently living in Singapore and was now in Hong Kong as her husband was there for business. Jill was really easy to talk with and I was very pleased to have some company because it would have been boring to sightseeing all alone. The Peak was great and the view form there was incredible. After a lunch at the peak we headed for the junk boat. From viewing Hong Kong and Kowloon from the top we now saw the city from sea level and it was a great way to view the bay and the surroundings. After stopping in Kowloon we had a rest and discussed what to do next. They planned to see the light show at 20.00 but since it was several hours to go for that and the girls were getting tired they decided to head back to their hotel and when Jill invited me over I didn't hesitate to accept it. Jill and her husband stayed at a 5-star hotel in Hong Kong and going from a hostel to that was a great feeling. The view from their room at 40th floor was amazing and just chilling at the pool with a top notch service was incredibly nice. I stayed there for dinner and left at around nine o clock. What a great day it was and I will always remember these lovely ladies as a part of my Hong Kong visit.
