Justin's cousin had planned a
day for us, so we caught the train out to Diamond Hill to meet up with
everyone.
(Does this count as our family portrait for the day? Not sure who the random is to my left)
Before we left for our adventure, we walked (what felt like ages, carrying Jarvis) to an
Italian restaurant for lunch.
Side note: add to the list of
things I have learnt while travelling. Don't eat Chinese food in France . And do
not eat Italian in Hong Kong .
After lunch we then drove to
an area which is known for the wild monkeys, that wander willy nilly all over
the roads. Golden Hill Country
Park or Kam Shan Country Park was
established in 1977, its a country park located in the ranges north
of Kowloon .
Kam Shan, or Monkey Hill is home to the macaques. I was told these monkeys are
probably descendants of monkeys released by pet owners a hundred or so years
ago.
Another car pulled up at the
same time as we did, and they came with a box of fruit to feed the monkeys.
This was fun and terrifying at the same time. After all they are wild monkeys.
However, it is illegal to feed the monkeys. Which I found out when the other
driver incurred a fine. Opps.
We then just drove around
looking at the scenery, yes Hong Kong really
is kinda smoggy. But the drive was great, as we stopped at a really tiny
village.
Justin's cousin dropped us
back off at the hotel for a rest. Getting stuck in peak hour on the way back to
the hotel made me very aware why the air in Hong Kong
is very smoggy.
We did our normal shower, and
rest. Before heading our to meet up the entire family for a massive banquet
dinner. Justin scoffed the first course, he thought that was it. But then they
kept bringing out course after course after course! Ever needed a forklift to
get you home after way too much food?
