A friend came back from the UK a day or two ago. Straight to work. Very chipper this morning. Shredded by this afternoon. I am so glad we have decided to break our journey - Hong Kong on the way over and Singapore on the way back. Two stops that have not features much in our excitement and micro planning. Sort of like the well behaved student in the classroom - appreciated but glossed over.
Hong Kong is a new destination for us - an old trade centre - a small but vital shipping port; 'fragrant harbour' that although is just a rest shop, may hold pleasant surprises. Some recommendations are to ride the cable cars to Victoria Peak, see the zoo, visit the actual island of Hong Kong and travel by tram and train. One full day there seems not enough. Thank you to some special people for tickets for the tram and trains and direction as to what to do.
Singapore will be a very short stop over - more for sleep than sight seeing. There is so much to see there but it will be what comes our way while walking. Clean, pretty, colourful and vibrant by day and by night.
While the rest of the trip is being meticulously planned these few days will be totally unplanned - spontaneous; a respite from the long plane trip and intense travelling. Here is your chance to have your say - what did you find interesting, valuable, a must do while in either place? What advice would you send our way?
The plan is not to have a plan except to come back home not too shredded.
