Today we left Mission Hills Resort for Shenzen where we caught the train to Hong Kong. Some of the group had been to Hong Kong before so opted to spend the day at Shenzen shopping. The rest of us followed Ben like a flock of little sheep.
Ben bought our train tickets and showed us how to fill out our departure from Shenzen declaration form (one side of the railway station) and our arrival declaration form to Hong Kong (the other side of the railway station). It feels very strange to have to do this in such a small space but we believe that the purpose of the exercise is to control who can and cannot enter Hong Kong.
Along the way Peter bought a plastic tennis racquet for Ben to hold up so that we could follow him through the crowds. (On closer inspection it turned out to be a battery charged electronic fly zapper).
We travelled on the train to Hong Kong and all managed to get off at the right station. Ben walked us to the Royal Plaza Hotel which was our Hong Kong base for the day.
There we met up with our Hong Kong guide and our tour bus that was to take us on our city tour.
