The Escalator and Victoria's Peak

    Once we were done eating at TGI fridays the first thing we did in Hong Kong was headed to the Escalator, this Escalator is one of the longest in the world and travels one day in the morning and another direction in the evening, several people take this Escalator everyday to travel to work. We headed up just for fun and traveled most of it before finding a street to head down rather than walking down several stairs back to the beginning.


   After the adventure of the escalator we traversed the streets of Hong Kong until we made our way to the starting point of the Victoria's Peak tram. We waited in line to head up to the peak to see the beauty and excitement that waited for us at the top. After a long wait we took a ride along a rather steep tram rail up to the top of Victoria's peak. Once we got to the top we looked around in some of the shops that were located on the peak and then traveled outside to see the view of Victoria's peak. We got some beautiful pictures of the top of the peak, while shivering a little bit as it was just a tad bit chill at that point. Once we were done taking pictures we headed inside and explored some of the shops that were located at the peak. After exploring we decided that we were a bit hungry so we found one of the restaurants on the peak and grabbed a bite to eat.
    Exhausted from our adventures of the day after we were done eating we headed towards the tram heading back down the peak and went down. At the bottom back at the tram entrance we made our way back to a subway station so we could head back to our hostel. At the other girls block we bid them goodnight and headed upstairs to get ready for bed, set our alarm, and get a good nights sleep before the next days exploration.
