China Solar Eclipse
7/13/2009
: The first morning after arriving in Hong Kong, we walked up toward the top, skipping the funicular. It was a bit of a disappointment finding a shopping mall and houses near the peak, so instead we walked on the Hong Kong trail past a reservoir until we reached a main road. From there, we caught a bus back into the city. The weather was brutally hot and humid, and we were wishing that the eclipse fell during the winter.
