Anyway.... we had a great time. On Thursday, we took a 25 minute cable car ride up to the peak of a mountain with a famous monastery. Actually, much more famous than the monastery is a the large Buddha statue at the top.
Chessie and the kids on the cable car just as we got on....
This is a view from the cable car on the way up. You can see the cable where we came from....
Budda was huge! Here's a photo that should show his size in relation to the shops near by....
Steps up to Buddha....
Of course we couldn't leave Hong Kong without a trip to Disneyland. It was a fun day. You can easily find stuff to keep you busy for a day. It definitely feels like Disney -- but more like Disney lite after spending a week in Walt Disney World.
This is the Disney themed MTR train to the park. Notice the Mickey shaped handle to keep your balance. And surely you didn't think that we would forget it was Bucket weekend. Boiler Up 32-25!....
Required photo with the castle in the background....
Chessie, Bella, and Lorren with Mickey. Ema and I were riding Space Mountain!....
And as Bella said, "There's a really big Woody!"....
We also headed up to the Peak via an old tram that takes you straight up the slope over downtown Hong Kong.
You can see how steep the tracks are about to get through the front of the train....
This is a view from the peak....
We visited Madame Tussaud's wax museaum. There were lots of life like figures available for photos
Clayton with the Beatles....
Bella giving up a few inches to Yao Ming....
And when we had returned home, Michael had found us all the way in the China....
