Sadie in Hong Kong

We started our October Holiday with two nights in Hong Kong. We stayed at a hotel on Lantau Island. The picture of Nina on the boat was her almost getting stuck on the ferry. She was in the bathroom and the boat started to leave.
We arrived on Oct 1 and left the subway so we could take the ferry across to Hong Kong island and Central Pier (where we needed to catch the ferry to Lantau Island). Well because of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, there was a big fireworks show downtown. They closed the ferry before the fireworks show and we missed it by ten minutes. So we walked back to the subway, and rode that to Hong Kong Island. We reached Central Pier about the time the fireworks started and ten minutes after the last ferry to Lantau Island had left. We had to watch the fireworks and then wait another hour for the next ferry. We finally arrived at our hotel at 10 pm, thirteen hours after leaving out apartment in Hangzhou.
