peak

up the peak today on the Peak Tram - by using my beloved Octopus card, I got the potential for cheap return ticket whilst actually only paying for a single (it magickally detects that you went up the hill that day and charges you much less if you go down again) if you actually don't go down on the tram - I didn't, instead (after escaping the tourist area but not before paying too much for tourist-food (five-spices duck liver - I thought that might have a tiny bit of flavour at least but it didn't)) I walked along the Morning(?) Trail which winds downwards through the park on a shady well paved and mostly deserted path for 2.8km before dumping out into the residential towerblocks of the midlevels (from where I took a pretty random downwards path that dumped me back at the waterside on the north of the island).

Off to see (I hope) fireworks at 2000h.
