Woke up to a grey day here in Hong Kong. We had a rather late start but hadn't planned much anyway. Yesterday we had been looking for a Starbucks and stupidly thought that we would have to cross the water to Kowloon to find one :-) Well, as it turned out we had a Starbucks just across the street from our hotel! After a breakfast of fresh fruit, blueberry scones and latte we took the bus to Stanley for shopping.
We made out pretty well. I bought 2 very nice cashmere shawls, 2 linen blouses and a fleece (it's cold here) adding to my 2 T-shirts from yesterday. All dirt cheap! Kim got a beautiful silk top, 5 silk handbags, some other silk purses and yesterday T-shirts and some little fishes. We also got some gifts. By the time we finished shopping it had started to rain and we took the bus back to the hotel. Unfortunately we got off far too early and ended up having to walk quite a distance in the rain. Made a pit stop for some Starbucks along the way :-)
We haven't decided yet what to do for dinner. Will let you know.
We ended up going to dinner at a Japanese restaurant which was located within a shopping complex adjacent to the Marriott, which meant we didn't have to go outside where it is still raining and cold. They say that this weather is coming from mainland China and that it is snowing there. Luckily it is not that cold here, but cold enough!
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year - the year of the tiger. Too bad that it is going to be raining. Nevertheless a lot of stuff is going to be happening and I will report about it tomorrow.

I should have asked you to look for a nice Pashmina goat wool/silk scarf for me in brown/beige warm tones...... If you see one that is affordable, please get it for me. I am allergic to sheep wool but a mix of silk and cashmere from goat seems to be okay.
