The Peak

The peak is one of the highest point on Hong Kong Island, from where we can see the a bird's eye view of the Kowloon mainland from the height. But the climb and descent of the peak is almost as fun as the top itself. To get to the top, we had to take a long long series of escalators, get lost and make our way down half the hill before finding the elusive tram station we shouldnt' have missed. After taking a slow peak tram up, we took a public bus down from the top, which is one of my scariest bus rides yet. In short, riding that double decker bus speeding down the winding roads was like riding a roller coaster down. Rather sharp turns, insane speeding along parts of the road, hard braking at stops... Phew~ Fun.. But I'll rather not risk my life again. One slip, and we'll be tumbling down perhaps 20 storeys into the open seas.
