Hong Kong honeymoon - ideas wanted for 3 days 2 nights!

We are arriving 6am in HK on April 24 (Tues), departing early evening April 26 (Thurs). This is for our honeymoon and we are staying at The Four Seasons, so we have to be careful with our money for everything else. So no fine dining for us! My future hubby has never been to HK but I lived there before the handover. I want to show him round but I am often accused of trying to fit too much in too short a time and causing sensory overload! So I am looking for a suggested itinerary, to hopefully include:





Star Ferry



Mid Levels Escalator



The Peak



A market



Anything else thats a must see (my memory is hazy) in your opinion.





Great local food



And somewhere to drink and hang out in the evening (It used to be Post/Club 97 etc but I doubt they are still around)



Please be specific with restaurant and bar names.





Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rob, you%26#39;re a star!




Day 1 Tuesday





Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, walk around the parklands



Madame Tusauds at the Peak



Evening Jardines bazaar market, Causeway Bay



Make way to Times Square, Causeway Bay for dinner - http://www.timessquare.com.hk/ (About 20 restaurants to choose from)





Day 2 Wednesday





Start at the Western Market and then follow this fabulous walk which takes in kitcsch markets, antiques, the mid level escalator, medicine herbal shops, Man mo Temple, SoHo - stop for drinks and a bite to eat. discoverhongkong.com/eng/鈥a_walk_walk1.jhtml







In the evening,take theStar Ferry across Victoria Harbour. You can return by the same means later. Reach the promenade as the sun sets . Stay around to watch the Symphony of Lights. Finish your evening by dining in Knutsford Terrace or neon-lit Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district. www.eatdrinkhongkong.com/knutsford.html





Day 3 Ferry to one of the outlying islands.




Dear welltravelledlady, as to your query of somewhere to hang out and have a drink,I would suggest Red Bar in IFC mall which is where the Four Seasons is situated.It is located on the terrace atop the mall and has a great outdoor area with fab harbour views.It has discounted drinks from 5.30 until 8.30 every evening. IFC mall 8 Finance st. Central.




Thanks for all your great suggestions, I will take them all on board!
