We had a great last day in Hong Kong.  We wrapped up with a trip to the botanical garden and zoo and went back through the Hong Kong Garden to visit the tea museum, although sadly I couldn't get any pictures of that.  At the zoo amongst the monkey cages we found the highly exotic raccoon, which the sign informed us hails from North America and is widely known as the "washing bear".  Just so you North Americaners know. 

Yesterday was a tough day since it was the last one with Nick for a while and the heat and humidity made it a little difficult on my skin, but I'm feeling better right now.  I said a tearful good-bye to Nick at security about two hours ago and tried to make myself feel better with some dim sum.  Free wi-fi at the airport will distract me until the flight, and then I hope once I get to Hangzhou I'll be too excited to remember that I miss my husband, friends, and family.  It's been a wonderful vacation so far and I'm happy for the adventure to continue.

At the monkey cages.  This gibbon was holding

hands with the baby monkey.  Sniff.

The Man Mo Temple

Women worshipping at the Temple, which was

 much less touristy than the Big Buddha.

They had incense coils hanging from the ceiling and it

was like being in a smoky sauna.

Delicious Korean BBQ for dinner

Nick got me back on the ferry one last time to see the night skyline.

The white building on the right is the Art Museum we went to on Wednesday.

A little bit of rainbow to lift my mood.

Dim sum for breakfast by my lonesome.
