My many Hong Kong posts got derailed by my dying grandfather, but i've been meaning to catch up.
Maybe there won't be as many as i'd planned, but since i actually edited pictures at the hotel every day while we were there, i feel like i at least have to post those. Right?
Right.
On our 7th day in Hong Kong we decided to get up a little earlier than the other days (still not early at all) and head out for some touristy stuff without Nick.
Rob had recommended a nunnery he'd been to with his mom, and since we knew the name of the place and the station, we figured we'd be ok without a map or a guide.
It was insanely hot that day.
We found the nunnery without any problems and it was pretty wonderful, just the kind of place we like to visit when we're in Japan, which means Nick would have absolutely hated it, so going without him was a good call.
There, of all places, we found wi-fi, so i instagrammed this picture

Cloudy, but don't let that fool you... it was hot
There was a small rain shower, kind of a refreshing change
Contrast-y
Sweet pond
Across the street in Nan Lian Garden
Two melting tourists
A small swamp-ish pond with a whole gang of very loud frogs
Example:
We wanted to eat at their vegetarian restaurant, but they were only serving afternoon tea, so Allan had some delicious cheesecake and i had equally awesome radish puffs
The window we sat by was a waterfall, but i couldn't capture its shadows on his face
I will NOT hold the handrail and make it a safe journey, you meddling bastard!
You weren't allowed to take pictures here, but i played the dumb tourist and snapped one... you can even see the little guard on the left coming for me
