Day 4 - Enter Hong Kong


This morning we grabbed breakfast in one of the hotel restaurants where I had the best coffee of my life. It was super smooth and had just the right amount of cream and sugar, so I was definitely disappointed to find that refills are NOT included here.

After checking out of the hotel, we made our way to the port where we boarded a boat much like those you would take to Catalina, but for Hong Kong. Approaching the city, we made our way around tightly batched buildings due to the limited here.

The first thing we did after getting off the boat was check-in at the hotel. We stayed at the Nathan Hotel and the hostess there gave us a free upgrade! I found out that 30 some years ago while my dad was trying to emigrate out of China, he worked at this hotel and that my great great grandpa was one of the founders!

We took the subway for about half an hour to the other side of Hong Kong to visit Ngong Ping at Lantau Island. Here, they have the largest outdoor stone Buddha in the world! Afterward, we visited Sky100, which is the fourth tallest building in the world.
