We went out early for Fajr prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque. A comical sight as we saw Ustaz in a black polo shirt and wearing bright red gloves. He had to borrow his wife's gloves.

Hong Kong Day 6: Return Home + RoundUp
We checked out from Butterfly on Morisson at 6am. It was already so bright as we strolled down to the City Flyer A11 bus stop located along Gloucester Street. Goodbye HK. Thanks for the great trip.
