Subject: Post: In the morning we took a bus to Macau ferry terminal and a speedboat to Hong Kong. The one hour ride was quite fast, comfortable and relatively cheap at around 15€.After arriving to Hong Kong we searched our hostel, this time a different one due to the first hostel being fully booked. This time our hotel is located in Tsim Sha Tsui and it has just been opened last month. We have a quite comfortable private room with two beds, own shower and AC. The only problem is that the room is less than 2x3 meters in size, for sure the smallest hotel room I have ever been into. Wish it had just one square meter more space, would make things way more comfortable.. Now it's a bit hard to find a place for backpack.The afternoon was first spent by walking around the city and then taking a tram up to Hong Kong Peak, the highest mountain top just above the city. There were huge queues to the tram as the place is probably one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city. Took an hour to actually get into the tram which then climbed steeply up to the hill in a couple of minutes.

Of course we just couldn't use the easy artificial viewing terrace where everybody was going, but took a walk to a higher hill nearby for better views and less crowd. Thanks to Timo's excellent navigation skills we ended up walking the damn hill for a couple of kilometers wrong way, and it was really steep. Both of us were soaking wet after the climb and totally dead. After a while we finally found the correct viewing point for a nice view over the city.. Well, at least it's good for health, today was an another 15km walking day then, partially uphill..
