Day Two - morning jog

I had a good nights rests for the first night in a new time zone. I was able to sleep from about 11pm until 5am, which is pretty much my normal sleeping schedule. Since I was awake and had no where to be until 8am, I decided to go for a 7-mile run. I stopped at the front desk to ask for a map and the hotel address in case I got lost and the clerk looked at me like I was crazy! As I left the hotel the streets were pretty much empty except for a few taxi’s lined up outside the hotel. I decided to make my way down to the waterfront to the Star Ferry which is only a couple of blocks away. As I rounded the corner into the Ferry station there were at least 100 Chinese people working frantically to insert ads into the morning newspapers before loading them into vans. It was quite a site and needless to say I will be taking my camera tomorrow morning. I found a good route along the waterfront that was about 2 mile down and back on a pathway/boardwalk by the Hong Kong Cultural Center. I had a great view of downtown Hong Kong across the water as the sun was coming up. I was also happy to see quite a few other people jogging and walking!
