And when two double deckers meet on these tight roads, it's a VERY tight squeeze indeed!
|
|
|
Willard takes a rest whilst looking around the labyrinth that is Stanley Market - part tourist trap, part flea-market, part fine art fair, Stanley Market is a fascinating place to look around for bargains!
|
|
|
|
|
And, as night falls, we look out over Stanley bay as we consider our meal options before we return to Central.
|
|
|
Another fun double decker ride back home for Willard, this time through the night-time streets of Wan-Chai.
|
|
|
|
|
And Willard is especially excited by one purchase from the Market.... His name is Chinese!
|
|
|
....But it's been a long day for a small bear, so it's time to snuggle down in bed and sleep....
|
|
|
|
|
And after a restful sleep, Willard starts the day with breakfast at the Mandarin Cafe, where you can look out of the window and watch the world go by...
|
|
|
"And mad dogs and english bears go out in the midday (out in the midday) out in the midday sun!" We took Willard to see the "Noonday Gun" in Causeway bay, as immortalised by Noel Coward in the song I've just hideously mangled above. (the lyrics of which ring strangely true as both of Willards human companions scratch away at sunburnt shoulders)
|
|
|
|
|
Fire one!
|
|
|
And after the walk to and from the Gun (via the underpass provided by the Excelsior hotel) and the wind-swept wait for the firing at 12:00, we retire to the bar at a nearby hotel for an early afternoon drink - A glass of KIlkenny?! in Hong Kong?
