Winding Down in Hong Kong

Our last day in Hong Kong we decided to take it easy, so we slept in, had a light breakfast, and did some shopping. Then we met up with Laurence, Emma, and Emma's Dad for a relaxed lunch. After lunch, we had a little adventure, we rode one of the famous Hong Kong trams.

Later in the afternoon we meet up with our roommate's sister, Kat, and her friend Edmond. They were fantastic tour guides, showing us Hong Kong they way that 20-somethings experience it. First we went to a small museum in a historical building featuring a exhibit on the history of television in Hong Kong, complete with vintage sets. Then we went for tea at a little shop where we got milk tea with coffee, and some delicious pastries including egg tarts and pineapple buns (so named because they sort of look like pineapples, not because they have pineapple in them). Sooo good. I am especially a fan of the pineapple buns, I need to find a good place to get them back in the US. After tea, we got reflexology foot massages. OMG! I never knew feet could feel that good. I need to find out where I can get some of those in the US too. Once I do, every night out in high heals will be followed by a little piece of foot heaven.
