Stanley Market was a nice area to shop. Keith found a polo shirt with a dragon on it and I purchased an inexpensive scarf.

Since we arrived we have been seeing these unusual looking soft waffle cones filled with custard or ice cream. We tried just the egg waffle without the ice cream and it was yummy.

I really enjoyed Stanley Market. They had a lot of knock-off electronic stuff. I searched, but never could find a ”Rollex” watch.

I couldn't post a photo. Maybe this link will work.

Today was a totally worthless day. Sharry and I were supposed to have our Christmas lunch today, but it was such a nasty day that we put it off until next week. So, I did nothing.

Funny Tom. We didn't see too many watches there. Walking around Kowloon the first day it seemed every time we looked at a nice watch store someone approached us to see their knockoffs. We just kept saying no.

I didn’t even go to the grocery store. Therefore, my coffee will have no French Vanilla creamer in it.

I was really willing to spend good money for a Rollex watch. No such luck!

After the market we drove up to Victoria Peak, enjoyed the hazy views for awhile, walked around and then took the tram down. The tram down rides backwards. Fortunately Keith had positioned us well and we were able to grab the last seat, meaning I could turn sideways and face the front. It was an interesting tram, making several stops on the way down, and moving like a very slow roller coaster.

Because of our fairly steep decent the tall buildings we passed all looked slanted.

We are now sitting in the outdoor smoking area of our hotel enjoying drinks and Keith's cigar.

We have a nice, though hazy as usual, view of the harbour. If only we didn't have to listen to the sounds of construction on the beautiful new Intercontinental Hotel.

DR TCB I was tempted to look for a Cartier.

Jane · « **Reply #163 on:** January 03, 2019, 11:58:01 PM »

We had reservations for dinner at the nice Chinese restaurant at the hotel and cancelled them. Since it is nice out we will take a walk along the harbour and find someplace to eat.

I'm at home and watching tonight's episode of The Orville.

Is it good?

I liked it. There were a couple main story lines that were unexpected.

That's my mom's favorite flavor of creamer, too.

Did you happen to see any strange and interesting key chains?

I then went to Fred Meyer and got some low-carb/high-fiber tortillas and a package of pepperonis.

I read that as ”a package of peppermint.”. I was really worried about what you were going to be making!

Do not expect a key chain from Hong Kong. We didn't find them very interesting.

Jane · « **Reply #172 on:** January 04, 2019, 12:12:23 AM »

Temps suddenly cooled down. We had better head out for our walk now.

Darn. But thanks for looking!
