#140e | HONGKONG | SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION | SY MariaNoa

We are on our way to Germany for our annual home vacation. To break up the absurd long flight, we planned a stopover in Hong Kong. The first 10-hour flight leg takes us from Nadi International Airport directly to Hong Kong with Fiji Air. We got up early. At 5:00 a.m. the taxi picks us up directly from the ship. The Fiji Air plane is 5 hours late, so we don't land in Hong Kong before sunset. We take the Airport Express into the city and the subway to our hotel where we have booked 3 nights. ▬ keywords ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #china #hongkong #peaktram #Levuka #Vuda #Tonga #Vavau #Aitutaki #Morea #Raiatera #Bora-Bora #ilesdesociete #borabora #bora-bora #doldrums #lagoon40 #marianoa #plan #planinternational #blog #vlog #viral #vlogger #lavagabonde #delos #bluehorizon #loveworx #expedition #fiji #cooksislands #societyislands #frenchpolynesia #barefootroute #boatlife #boat #cruising #huricane #hurricaneseason #roundtheworld #circumnavigation #sailing #summer #sunset #travel #pacific #atlantic #catamaran #friends #luck #happiness #sunset #sunrise #beach ▬ about this movie ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ We have booked our first „free walking tour“ and meet 25-year-old Isaak in the Financial District on Hong Kong Island. The topic is the history and current political situation of the city. Hong Kong was occupied by the United Kingdom during the First Opium War in 1841 and was declared a British crown colony by the Treaty of Nanking in 1843. In 1997, sovereignty was transferred to the People's Republic of China. Since then, Hong Kong has been a Chinese special administrative region, maintaining a free market economy and promised internal autonomy. This principle of one country, two systems was contractually agreed in the Joint Declaration on Hong Kong. You have specific questions? We love to answer on MariaNoa@gmx.de. ▬ about this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ We are Brigitta and Hannes. Together we do circumnavigation. We bought the catamaran Lagoon 40 MariaNoa with which we set off on the barefoot route from the French Atlantic coast at the beginning of March 2021. For many years, sailing around the world had been my (Hanne's) big dream, which I wanted to realize when I retired due to my career. But sometimes life turns out differently than you planned. In spring 2020 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Suddenly my life sped up considerably, I sold my house, cleared out the household contents and started buying mountains of marine equipment. “Cast off!” was planned for the beginning of March 2021 - and that's how it happened, despite Corona. Brigitta was of course completely surprised at first, even though a circumnavigation fit much better into her professional life as a pre-retiree than into mine. In the last 6 months she has made an amazing development and is looking forward to our big adventure just like I am. Plan International is an international children's aid organization. On our trip we don't just want to chill in dream bays but also visit Plan program countries and document the work there. Become part of our journey and subscribe to our channel!
