It was a rather scenic bus ride to stanley island- I did get bus sick as the road was pretty windy but we finally made it! Stanley is a rather touristy place. We spent the first part of the afternoon walking around the market. I didn't get much except for a few scarves for the mother and sister and some leather woven bracelets.
Many stores had pets in them. This cat happy sat there watching the world pass by. We also found the cutest umbrellas; They came in japanese doll containers! I was tempted to get one but I figured it wasn't the most practical of things.
We headed out to the broadwalk to take a stroll along Blake Pier. It reminded me of the time we were in Whitby together. Clear blue waters; ice cream trucks; pubs and bars. It had a very western vibe to the area.
After our stroll we ended up at Murray House -It is a Victorian-era building in Stanley. Originally built in the present-day business district of Central in 1844 as officers' quarters of the Murray Barracks, the building was relocated to the south of Hong Kong Island during the 2000s.In 1982, the historical landmark was dismantled to yield to the new Bank of China Tower. Over 3,000 building blocks were labelled and catalogued for future restoration.
Our adventure ended at Stanley Plaza where they had this great idea. Dog parking. You leave your dog there while you pop into the supermarket and the Dog gets to make friends with other dogs parked in the area. We called it a day and headed back to Causewaybay for dinner.
