Smoggy and soggy

For the first time since we arrived, today was very humid and hazy, and we finally got to see and experience the infamous pollution that's been plaguing Hong Kong more and more. We went for our usual walk down to the harbour, convention centre and Golden Bauhinia, and could hardly see the tall buildings around Central, let alone the ones on the other side of the harbour.
(There's a picture here if you want to see what I mean)

After dark we decided to explore Wanchai where we're living at the moment. It's a really interesting area. We walked in the all enveloping damp heat up through the park and found the old Wanchai post office, quite a quaint little old building. Then we ventured up the really really steep hill next to it to find the start the trail up to Wanchai Gap and Lover's Rock....intriguing sounding places that we wanted to find. The dark and humidity got the better of us not too far up the seemingly 45 degree slope and we returned home dripping with sweat (something we're getting quite used to now) but planning to go back up there in the next couple of days.
