The third stop today was the Palace of the King and the temple of the Emerald Buddha.

All is beautiful but very hot and humid. We all felt faint for the tour. Luckily my husband located a coca cola and we revived. A coke never tastes that good in America. Then we headed to a ruby and sapphire factory. Beautiful jewelry but very expensive I decided not to buy. Now we take off for Hong Kong. The plane creaked and moaned most of the way to Hong Kong. I was saying a million prayers as usual for a safe flight. Thanks to God again we made it. We went to Kowloon to shop. Hong Kong is incredible. Aberdeen is Hong Kong 100 years ago. People live on their boats and it smells like fish. The government is trying to move people to land because the boats re so close together it is a fire hazard. On to Victoria Peak – a house has a green roof for money and red brick for prosperity. The local story is the owner had 4 wives allowed until 1970 and then he died at age 40 and now his wives spend his money and play mahjong. Hong Kong is very friendly and the people have a sense of humor.
