Hong Kong - November 2019

Art display at Tai Kwun. Always something going on here, but not many tourists at the moment.

Bought a new shirt...



Elephant Grounds on Caine Road always a good place for brunch...

The weather at this time of year is spectacular. Been hitting the gym and doing a lot of yoga. Enjoying a new brunch place in Soho - Barista by Givres. This one is avocado on dukkah...

Went to Harbour City one day on the ferry, and bought some new clothes. The weather in November was spectacular.

Love my new pants...

Ice-cream from Barista by Givres, my new brunch place...

I bought a full length mirror for my cupboard...

Devil's Peak - November 2019

Finally cool enough to do a hike.

One Sunday I headed to Devil's Peak. Caught the MTR to Yau Tong to the starting point. This is on the way up...

It is another beautiful day...

From the top, looking across to Hong Kong Island. I think this is the narrowest point between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island...

Looking across to Lohas Park...

Passing the Chinese Cemetery on the way down...

And down the bottom, walked to Lei Yue Mun seafood market...

Old Hong Kong on the left, and new Hong Kong on the right...

Seafood market. Feels local and I assumed the seafood would have been from around here. But this sign says from Australia !

Shanghai - 1-3 November 2019

Headed to Shanghai for a weekend away.

Easy flight on CX then Maglev / subway to Jing'An where I stayed at the Swissotel. My 3rd time here and was upgraded to a higher floor.

Jing'An Temple...



Saturday went to breakfast in Wuding Road, the restaurant / bar area I found last trip. After that I walked around Tianzifang and then to Xintiandi.

Then headed to the aquarium in Lujiazui for something different. It was okay but full of extremely loud school children so I was out quickly.

Headed back to the hotel for a swim, then to dinner at the Bavarian in Wuding Road where I had been before. After that went to Malabar for a drink, then back to hotel.

On Sunday, walked around Jing'An Park and had breakfast at a place called Bread, which was good.



Jing'An Park...

After lunch I headed to the metro to the airport. Easy flight back to HK.
