84 hours in Hong Kong and Macau

Its my third times visiting Hong Kong..I have so much memories there as it was my first country i have visited by plane in 2008...Initially, i told my friend that i may not able to travel with them since i was quite ill on the previous week..I had a very serious throat infection. Luckily, i managed to recover in time and travel with them..
Knocked off at 12pm, i quickly rushed to the airport as the flight was 2pm. Arrived in HK at 6pm, clearing the immigration and took airport express to Hong Kong Island. Check in at Sheung Wan. This time, we rented an apartment. Typical HK apartment..small and cramped!! Then, went to Jordan to have our dinner at 8pm and then headed to Temple street and do some night shopping over there.

Day 3 - Went to Macau. Took an hour ferry from Sheung Wan to Macau Ferry terminal. Took a cab to see St Paul Cathedral and Mount Fortress. Had authetic Portuguese lunch before heading to Venetian for gambling and window shopping.. Took 5.15pm ferry back to Hong Kong. Then went to Tsui Sha Tsui, took the Star ave ferry to Victoria harbor.. Saw that giant rubber duck!!! im so lucky to see that..The rubber duck will travel around the world and will be in HK for a month...Afterwhich, had drinks at the bar and was pretty drunk..lol

Day 4 - Woke up slightly late. Went to IFC mall at Hong Kong station to leave our baggage there since we have to check out at 11am. Had quick lunch over there.. Subsquently, took a bus and arrived at Victoria peak. It's a pity as it was still hazy and we cant see the building clearly.. Went to Mong Kok for late min shopping then to Kowloon Sky 100 in the late afternoon to enjoy the night view before rushing back to get our baggage and catch our flight.. it was a hectic trip as we have visited so many places..Really missed the food and weather there..will be back again soon :)
