The Austrian in Vancouver

Last full day

The morning of the last day was spent checking out the Tsing Ma Bridge. A visitor centre and a viewing platform were created to allow visitors easy access to the bridge and to learn about its construction. Unfortunately, one doesn’t get to see as much of the bridge as I was hoping. In fact, the visitor centre allows one to take pictures of the Ting Kau Bridge, not the Tsing Ma span (both bridges are part of the same road, though).

Afterwards, it was off to Aberdeen to take a look at the floating restaurants.

The bus ride back to Kowloon offered some pretty nice views:

Now, it’s time for us to start saying good bye to Hong Kong. We’ll be leaving tomorrow, May 17, at 16:35 local time. We’ll arrive in Vancouver at around 14:00 the same day, i. e. two and a half hours before leaving — the joys of crossing the date-line.
