Courtesy of recommendations on a couple of on-line travel forums--who variously described this as HK's best value and best-kept secret--we booked a harbourview suite at the Hong Kong YMCA. Might I repeat BEST VALUE. In capitals. For the same price as a standard room in another 3 or possibly 4 star hotel, we have a king-sized bed and a separate sitting room and a view of Hong Kong's least well-kept secret, the fantabulous Victoria Harbour. Although it isn't the harbour which is the attraction, but the view of the island's skyscrapers doing their evening light show. Huge sigh of contentment. Tomorrow we shop. The day after we head home. The week and a bit has gone much too fast, sob, but I must return. I must work. There will be shopping to pay for. Stay tuned for the pictures...
