Shopping Mall and Acrophobia - February 29

This morning I went across to the shopping mall across the street and connected to my hotel. A complex of 18 or more floors with a massive atrium going from the 4th floor to the top, two giant escalators each moves you five floors at a time, and many smaller ones, otherwise stair and ramps between each floor. A complex I walked around and which my mobile phone told me I had covered 3.47 kilometres.

A complex at every turn gave magnificent views into the atrium. Not so good if, like me, you had a bit of a fear of heights. You should have seen me when I finally stepped onto the last escalator going down; moving stairs stretching down five floors and open space above me for eight floors. After several attempts, I stepped out into space, hung on to the moving handrail with both hands, and never let go until I was three steps from the bottom.

Looking down about 7 floors from the turn-round in one of the into floor ramps.

Back in my room, I turned on the air conditioning and sat down to relax. The chair was side-on to the floor-to-ceiling window looking out over Hong Kong from the twenty-second floor.  I turned the chair to face into the room then opened my Kindle and began to read.

The last for today. I am back from the Lady's Market and have bought a wallet, a proper cover for my mobile, and something for Emma.  The rest of you don't worry (to too much) I still three days.
