Sky high.

Been to couple of places so far then.
Seen few sights, ate few bowls of noodles and even more rice.
Watched the sunset passing behind the skyline few good times too.
..And there's a certain quality about this skyline. However bad the weather would be, it never gets boring, unlike another episode of Desperate Hosewives (oh, was it Housewives?) your girlfriend wants to watch.
It's simply magnifique, wunderbarr and esplendido. ( architecture, not the above series..)
Went to see it from the birds eye view. No animals were harmed during the process, only I have seemed to be like the mule carrying my rucksack - as always anyway.
One of the biggest tourist attractions of Hong Kong is Victoria Peak and its Tram - 120 years old and still climbing up vehicle, going straight to the top of this crown. Place with shops galleria and of course, great views of said skyline. Hundreds of mortals get there every day to admire this view and get a photo with some trees obscuring the panorama.
So did I. How average..
There's even a terrace, where apparently better views are being sold for total sum of 20HKD, but didn't even bother following the crowd..
This night I have decided to rise over the "top" of this even as a bar of chocolate normality.
Mission has been staged as follows:
3 a.m. The start-up time.
3.15 a.m. Shortcut leading nowhere (read: wall of forest in the night) and return to main road.
3.45 a.m. Not-so-shortcut no.2 , when realized, that after climbing through the fences of the Peak Tram, it stops inside the shopping Galleria, closed at night (!) - which led to another climb - through the bushy, steep slope onto the pavement.
4 a.m. Shooting from the square-like-boring platform, where purchase of a cheesy photo is a necessity and the end of tourist journey takes place. Within the regular, day timeframe that is of course, or meeting with band of brigand, stray dogs at night.
4.15 a.m. Lookout for a better spot and getting lost between housing estates.....
....
...
..
Somewhere between the dots was a little forest, building site and..
5 a.m. ..the answer to my needs. Radiotelecommunication tower.
No limitations, tree branches and so on. Unrestricted view of the harbour.
Only wind in your hair. Actually an awful lot of it! Enough to put the tower to wobble.
I managed to stay there until nearly 6 a.m., freezing my butt to the bones and wondering, if the crane operator on the nearby building site, starting work at dusk most likely, would alarm the guards about my presence.
Shaking cold went down the 66 steps of a metal ladder.
Sunrise wasn't the prize for me that night.
It's 3 a.m. again though and I suppose it's time to pack my bags. Night looks clearer.
Radioactivity - here I come!
