Yesterday, Jane and I spent our time quietly and away from the group of families. We watched a movie in our room in the morning and rode the ferry to Hong Kong Island for exploration. The city is built on steep slopes so there are lots of stairs to climb and decend. The roads of this huge city are not on a grid, but are based more on what the landscape will allow. They resembled a roller coaster at times. We walked a good 8 miles and saw plenty: an ultra-contemporary 1200 foot tall skyscraper, an exterior escalator that takes 20 minutes to ride from bottom to top (makes the hills easier), traditional apothocaries on small streets showing their large jars of dried "things", a leopard at the public zoo, and old British churches and government buildings. That evening our group flew to Chongqing.
The long walk helped us to sleep last night. That's important because today is a big day; we will meet Eliza in a few hours. After breakfast, we will meet in the hotel lobby to fill out paperwork and then we're off to the Registration Office. More later. Time to get our things together and head out for a wonderful day.
