Day 49 - 4th Apr 2009

Decided to skip the hotel breakfast today and instead headed to MacDonalds for something a bit more appetising. Unfortunately both of us had upset stomachs this morning which we think is down to the anti-malaria tablets which we are taking for Nepal and India. Liz had felt a bit funny the two previous days.

We looked for some shops which were mentioned in our guide book, but they didn't seem to be where it said. Luckily for me the toilets were as I still wasn't feeling very good.

Then it was back to the post office with our things to post home. But when we got there it was closed! We heard some people in front of us talking and apparently it was a public holiday! This wasn't great news as we didn't really have space for the stuff we were going to post home. Luckily we dicovered that there was a downstairs section of the post office which was still open, although the que was huge. We eventually got our box packaged up and Liz filled in all the paperwork to send it on it's journey home.

I still wasn't feeling very well so Liz thought we should go and have some lunch to get some energy into me. We found a Chinese fast food place and I sat at a table while Liz negotiated the again slightly confusing ordering process. I was very grateful for the help!

After lunch, with my energy supplies somewhat replenished, we headed to the Hong Kong Museum of History. This has an interesting display which traces the story of Hong Kong from prehistoric times to modern day. It is very well done contains some impressive full scale replicas of differnt types of buildings and at one stage a whole reproduction street complete with a tram! We really enjoyed looking round and learnt a lot about Hong Kong.

For dinner we went to pizza hut near our hotel. Not so adventurous I know, but with our funny tummies it was just the ticket!
