One Day in Hong Kong

How easy is getting around Honkers? Off the plane and our bags were there waiting for us, almost calling our names from the conveyor belt. Then we walked out the arrivals door and almost fell into the train - it was that close. Off the train and a bus was waiting for us to take us straight to the door of our hotel. So we thought, we've been on nearly every other mode of transport, so let's get the ferry over to Hong Kong Island, catch a taxi to the bottom of the peak train. Then we would have done it all. So easy!

And lucky it's so easy because to be totally honest with you, if you had to deal with terrible public transport on top of the crowds and the pushing and the smoking and the spitting as well as the heat (when it's hot), then more people would surely be killed. Surely!
