HONG KONG--DAY 1

Friday, March 22nd
     We docked here in Hong Kong at 1pm.  Unfortunately, we are using the China Merchants Wharf instead of the the Star Wharf.  The latter was where we docked in 2010 and is great location for laser light show and for shopping.  This afternoon we took a shuttle bus to Star ferry terminal and a huge nice mall opposite it.  I wanted to look for a new Dell laptop battery for one of my computers and Rebecca new Kindle Fire HD was not working.  Did not have any luck with either.  Back on the ship about hour and a half later.  Took her Kindle to Alex, the ship's IT person and he got it working again.
     Love it in ports when all the passengers are off for tours.  It is nice to basically have ship all to ourselves.  There is a HK night light tour at 6pm so hope a lot of folks are going on it also.  We may be able to get last minute reservation at Prime 7 steakhouse.  I don't think we will be able to enjoy the laser light show from our position so glad we have already watched it.
     It is sunny but very hazy today with temperature of 79 degrees.  I took some pictures as we were sailing into port but will wait until tomorrow to add them.  Better get ready for cocktails and dinner.  TGIF to everyone.
