the tram to the peak

This morning we took a tram ride to the peak of Hong Kong island...
as you may know Hong Kong is built on a serious of hills and plateaus... mostly man made due to the very steep incline on the mountain (which is the island)
the tram ride was very steep and felt very much like a roller coaster climbing.... a little nerve racking.

see how the "tracks" just seem to fall away...

the tram is 2 cars long
the views were breath taking and well worth the ride
we were so high you can see the clouds of mists rolling in. it felt like you cold drink the air...

we also went to the top of this bldg and saw the 360 view on the island

there was a little interactive audio that told of parts of the isalnd






we made a wish of returning to  the island

and went for a walk along one of the paths at the top of the mountain









it was a lovely morning... then back to the hotel and the conference
