The Amsterdam is docked in Kowloon at the Ocean Terminal, adjacent to a huge shopping mall and just steps from the Star Ferry, which runs back and forth to and from Hong Kong Island.
We spent the first day touring on the local Hop On, Hop Off. When we finally got back to our "neighborhood" it was dark outside, time for Hong Kong's famous sound and light show. We stood on the waterfront plaza with hundreds of other spectators, oohing and aahing as we listened to the music and watched the spectacle.
The next day, we visited the Hong Kong Museum. Especially. Interesting were the Andy Warhol exhibit and a display of Chinese art featuring animal pictures. (Lots of dragons!). We had lunch in the Museum's sculpture garden, then took a harbor tour, then hurried to the mall to use their free wi fi.
Watsons drug stores are everywhere in Hong Kong. No relation to the Watson who shares my cabin (and life.)
Good bye, Hong Kong.
Hope to see you again.
Sorry, no pictures from Manila. Watson went on a tour, but I stayed on the ship with my upset stomach. I need to just say no to all the goodies on the buffet.
There was plenty of activity on board, because many of our crew members are from the Philippines, and their families had come to visit them. What a happy occasion!
