Friday Morning on the South China Sea

If it's Friday it must be Taipai. Well, not quite yet. We still have to get to the Hong Kong airport which is about 25 minutes from the YMCA Hotel in Kowloon. After that the flight to Taipai will only be about an hour and a half.

Yesterday afternoon was spent looking at some interesting pieces of art followed by a leisurely dim sum lunch. Following lunch we spent the afternoon in the Chi Lin Nunnery and temple compound. It is very quiet there - a hidden part of Hong Kong so far unknown to tourists. The nunnery also has a beautiful park in front with ponds and waterfalls, a tea house (literally the quietest place in Hong Kong) and a vegetarian restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious dinner before returning to the hotel.

No images yet - I didn't have time yesterday or this morning to download the files from the camera to the computer. In Taipai there should be more time for downtime and details - unless of course I am completely mistaken!
