Steemians!
First off, I want to thank all of you for your ongoing support. There is so much happening behind the scenes and I am itiching to share everything with you. But before I go back to updating you at least weekly, I still have to finish the travel series from touring with 
, to keep my blog in a chronological order.
So here we go…
After the Dubai conferences, it was time to head to the U.S, with our first stop being San Francisco. So how did we end up...
7 Hours in Hong Kong?
Well.. we found an alternative to taking a veeeery long direct flight from Dubai to the West Coast (which would take 20+ hours)...
To go the other way around, fly 7 hours from Dubai to Hong Kong, get a walk in while exploring Hong Kong for 7 hours and then pass out on the 12h flight from Hong Kong to San Fran.
And that's exactly what we did!
First Impressions
Hong Kong is a very vibrant city, a lot of people, narrow streets, tall sky scrapers. The people seemed very much "in their own world" and used to tourists. We got quite lucky with the weather, it was a warm day and perfect to explore the city.
Victoria Harbour
We went straight to the harbour, since this is the top attraction in Hong Kong and a great place to relax while enjoying the famous view of Hong Kong's skyline.
Hong Kong Observation Wheel
The Hong Kong Observation Wheel is a 60-metre (197-foot) tall Ferris Wheel located on the Central and Chai Reclamation overlooking Victoria Harbour.
Matcha Heaven
If you've been following my blog and time in Japan, you already know that I love Matcha flavour and especially in Asian countries, so before heading back to the airport, we decided to make a stop for some Matcha ice-cream!
And that was my first time in HONG KONG!
Final words: I think it's a great idea to plan your travels with longer layovers, because it lets you get an impression of a certain place. Also, since your time is limited you will automatically be a lot more efficient and mange your time accordingly.
HONG KONG - I will be back!
Much love,
- Mrs.Steemit
