Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is an island in the southern part of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It has a population of 1,289,500 and its population density is 16,390/km², as of 2008. The island had a population of 3,000 inhabitants scattered in a dozen fishing villages when it was occupied by the United Kingdom in the First Opium War in 1842, and the City of Victoria was then established on the island by the British Force in honour of Queen Victoria. The Central area on the island is the historical, political and economic centre of Hong Kong. The northern coast of the island forms the southern shore of the Victoria Harbour, which is largely responsible for the development of Hong Kong due to its deep waters favoured by large trade ships.

I am still celebrating.....an amazing journey!

Sam's dedication and organizational skills made what seemed to be an impossible trip not only doable but one of my most memorable. A few days before my departure date, I broke my foot and ended up on crutches and an air cast for the next 6 weeks. Sam made sure essential assistance was available every step of the way.... even made last minute arrangements with a special spa retreat in a secluded village in Ethiopia! He is the best! Please...
