I had read in Lonely Planet of this Tropical Spice Garden, that was located close to our hotel. I was determined to check it out and Nic was interested too. We caught a taxi there after breakfast, and paid for a guided tour of the 4 acre site that is privately owned, and is filled with plants, predominantly spices, from all over the world such as cinnamon, pepper plants, star anise and chillies. We were provided with a citronella oil to put on ourselves as there were a lot of mosquitoes but despite this, the tour was really great and informative.
Just as the humidity increased, and the rain threatened, we jumped in a taxi to go to the airport for a quick shower, pack and then trip to the airport. Farewell Malaysia – my lasting impression of this holiday will be the really friendly people.
Our flight to Hong Kong took nearly 4 hours. We surrounded by screaming kids but somehow Nic still managed to nap a lot of the way. I still can’t do it, no matter how tired I am. By the time we cleared customs, collected the luggage and jumped on the train bound for Hong Kong city, it was about 9pm and then we had a final taxi ride to Nic’s place. She lives in central Hong Kong – I am going to have a great time exploring this place.
