HK Day 2: Victoria Peak

Hong Kong is so hot.Yet somehow, all the locals here don't sweat, and I seem to be the only one getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.  Today we walked around the city in more or less a large circle from the hotel to the Soho area, over to Victoria Peak via tram and then we spent a bit of time at the Hong Kong University campus.  HK is really hilly...REALLY hilly, so since they're super smart, they decided to build a system of escalators outside which go for over 800m!  The surrounding buildings are trendy little boutiques and restaurants which are Western styled.

Longest outdoor escalators in the world!

The track going up was ridiculously steep
