Hong Kong COOK departed Pattaya Beach and arrived in the world famous port of Hong Kong on July 24 for a four day visit. The city's allure was im- mediately felt as we pulled into the harbor, with the calm water set against a backdrop of rugged mountain peaks and sky scraping towers. Many took advantage of the view from Victoria Peak, as well as the countless other cultural and shop- ping opportunities offered in nearby Kowloon, Stanley, and the Portuguese province of Macau. Gems, silk, and bone china were the popular buys here. The main island streets were con- stantly alive with hectic traffic, making a walk through the city a major sight-seeing activity in itself. This was the last new port COOK was to visit. The anticipation of returning home began to build as we left this enchanting city. ti 'Gt Fl WHEN AWN! 'ff Fin
