Obviously we didn't just eat in Hong Kong, there's plenty to see and do and we managed quite a packed itinerary in our five day stay. Our first adventure out into the crowded and claustrophobic streets of Hong Kong was to take a ride on what was once the world’s longest escalator system which provides a means for many Hong Kong commuters to travel from the residential area high in the mountain down to the business district and then back again – in fact the escalators switch direction at 10:30am each day. Despite being built to relieve traffic on the roads, the escalators have become something of a tourist attraction in their own right, with the streets either side of them lined with all sorts of restaurants and cafes which you can pop into on your way by, and provided some interesting if not a little unorthodox entertainment for the morning. On reaching the top, we meandered down the hill and took a tour of some of Hong Kong’s famous street art complete with the next generation of instagram celebrity wannabes posing in front of them.

        5. Pizza by the Slice at Paisano's Pizzeria. Whilst more commonly associated with the Big Apple, this pizza chain serves up huge individual slices of hot delicious pizza to a very busy restaurant full of waiting customers. It was bit mad, but the food was good and who doesn't love pizza?!
