Hong Kong and going home

It was raining first thing this morning when we pulled back the blinds to our harbor view. Once showered we were down stairs to the forth floor and our final buffet breakfast.
We decided to pack our bags, put them in storage and get the Hop On Hop Off bus around this side of the harbor on the blue line for the remaining time that we had left.
We were on the bus by 11am and the sun was trying to come through. From the top viewing deck of the bus it was getting very hot again so we were thankful when the bus was moving to enjoy the cooling breeze. The first stop the bus made was quite a way off and the commentary about the area and the history was again very interesting.
We got off at the stop that gave access to an area known as ‘The Ladies Market’ in Shanghai St in Langham Place. This is in fact one of the busiest streets and most heavily populated areas in the world.
The market was huge and as we wondered along found many more bits to buy.
Time flew along and it was not long before we needed to head back to the bus stop to catch it back to our hotel via the rest of the blue line route. As it was the weekend we noticed locals lining up outside the designer stores of Louis Vuitton and Chanel as only so many are allowed in at a time.(see pics)
Once back at the hotel we collected our bags from the storage and they organized a taxi for us back to the airport.
Once inside the airport we changed our light clothes for the warmer jeans and long sleeve shirts etc we would need when we arrived home.
Hong Kong airport is large and again we found ourselves on the internal train and being wiscked away to our gate area and awaited boarding.

I am writing this last entry on the plane and only 30mins from landing at Auckland. We have been privileged to have enjoyed and amazing holiday that has taken us from one side of the world to the other. We are feeling pretty damed pleased with our organization of everything as there was not one real hick up at all.
The cabin crew are now asking us to put our gear away and prepare for landing so will do that now. We have a few hours wait before the final flight back to Dunedin where Debbie will pick us up and take us to our own home.
