It was quite sad leaving HK, the people are so friendly and HK in general is so easy to get around, you feel quite safe and the weather was good...very cold towards the end. We left Cheung Chau Island in a rush because we were running late to catch the fast ferry, it usually takes about 20min to walk back to the port although I think we did it in half the time...running down the pathways and most of it downhill. I'm sure the locals thought these crazy foreigners. When we arrived at central HK we went straight to the train station, you can check in your bags and they go direct to the airport so you don't have to carry them around. Then all you have to do is catch the express train to the airport which takes about 25 min.
Well now we are in Vietnam...very humid and heat (compared to HK), the sound of buzzing motorbikes is amazing. Ashah was sitting on my lap in the taxi, we had the window down, the bikes were coming so close I could have reached out and touched the people. Ashah loved it, she was amazed with all the bikes and people. The city is definitely alive, lots of people and smells of food wafting through the air...I'm sure tomorrow we'll be able to see a lot more.
