Glad it is all going well for you. Did you visit the silk factories in Suzhou? The conditions were pretty awful when we were there 10 years ago but we were blown away by the skill of the artists. Enjoy Hong Kong, go up the Peak on the tram and (re)visit where we did our courting 36 years ago!
We only had one day to explore Suzhou so went to a lot of gardens! Spent a day visiting a nearby canal town of Tongli which was beautiful before heading to Hangzhou for a few days. Have to say it was my favourite place in china do far!
On Saturday we went to the peak on the train- and walked back down so probably went passed a few of your old haunts! We've been on the star ferry harbour cruise and yesterday we took a trip to Lantau island to see the big Buddha. The weather wasnt so nice on the way in but by the time we walked to the buddha we had fab views!
Sorted out our visa for Vietnam today- which took an uber efficient 10 mins(if that!) - very impressive! Only a couple of days until the next part of our adventure starts!!
I'm getting a touch of the wanderlust, perhaps when I get this knee sorted and the weight off and I retire perhaps we will follow in some of your footsteps (if I can get the zimmer on the plane) glad you are having such a good time, lots of love xx
