Went to The Peak today at around 2pm. Took the bus no. 930 (CityBus) There are a few different bus companies, KMB, CityBus and AirBus. The bus stops at Admiralty MTR station, it’s the final station of the route. It’s $15.30 to get there(usually it’s $15.50 but Octopus card users have $0.20 cents off). On the way, the bus goes trough an underground tunnel to Hong Kong Island. And as I’ve said before, Hong Kong is divided into 4 major areas. This is actually the first time I’ve been to Hong Kong Island since I’ve came here. Be sure to look out for trams when you are in the Central region. I’ll go and have a ride on those maybe sometime next week or the week after. We then took the taxi to The Peak. It’s $44.40 to get there by taxi. The weather was foggy that day. Visibility was quite low. Couldn’t see much from there. Plan to go there again another day when there’s bright sunshine  so I can take some pictures. Had dinner at Shooters 52, in The Peak Gallery. Had a $198++ set dinner!! The food was merely ok. The Lemon Chiffon Pie was terrible . The drinks they serve there are HUGE, really, they use jars instead of glasses to serve drinks! And it’s EXPENSIVE-$45 for a coke!! Went back to Admiralty MTR station again by taxi and took the bus back to grandma’s home.
