Today we got up early and had breakfast.  We went back to the room and grabbed our bags and headed to the train.  We are very happy to be saying good-bye to the squatty potty.  Unless we were at our hotel this was your option for a toilet.  Also you have to carry your own toilet paper.  If there are sinks to wash your hands there is no soap or paper towels.  We just bathed in hand sanitizer after you used one only as a last resort:)



We took a 2 hour train to Hong Kong and then a taxi to a hotel.  We did a 1/2 day tour of Hong Kong today before heading to our hotel at the airport.  Hong Kong is very different from China.  We got to visit the Victoria Peak which is the highest point in Hong Kong.  It was amazing to look down and see Island side.  The guide told us for every square mile in HK there are 6,500 people.  Also the average high rise is 70+ stories.  Again like China there are people/cars everywhere.  Here are a few pics from our day!!

 
 
After the tour we headed to the hotel at the airport for 1 more nights sleep before heading home
