We started our day early with a ferry crossing from Kowloon to Hong Kong island to visit the longest escalator in the world which glides the Hong Kong workforce effortlessly up and downhill for nearly 1km, (it switches from running downhill to uphill at 10.20 so you don't want to be late) obviously it was going to be near on impossible to match that but the tram ride up to Victoria Peak damn well did it. I won't bore you with the usual platitudes about the view of the Hong Kong skyline, suffice to say it was bloody good.
In the evening, which just happened to be the most horribly overrated night of the year or New Years Eve we went to a couple of bars in Lan Kwai Fong (try saying that when you're pissed) which is where the movers and shakers hang out and definitely the place to be, and to be seen in Hong Kong as my surreptitiously taken photo will justify. For the final countdown we went back to Kowloon to watch the fireworks display along the harbour front but the crowds were huge so we decided a few beers back at the hotel was a much better plan.
Merry New Year!
