Anniversary in HK

Day 1 : Hongkong Trip and Ocean Park visit

Left early from the house to catch Cebu Pacific flight at 8am. Our flight experience with Cebu Pacific was simply ok...nothing spectacular but really convenient and efficient (not to mention, cheap) means of transportation. Despite no meals available on board, snacks were available on sale (ie: juice,soda and sandwiches) reasonably priced. Cebu Pac was on time and we arrived at HK International airport by 1015am.

At HK, immigration process went like a breeze. Sam enjoyed the candy jar from the immigration desk and I think she got more than two candies here. Still, the little girl was at her best mood. Smiling and saying hello to people around us. After taking the bus from the airport, we were immediately brought to our hotel at Metropark Hotel, Causeway Bay. The location of the hotel is very ideal... i love how connvenient from MTR, tram, bus stops, Mc Do and Cafe de Corale... my favorite tried and tested HK diner. Hubby and I loved the roasted duck and suckling pig rice toppings here. Price is very affordable at HK$30-50 per meal.

Sammie here singing and dancing non-stop BJ's airplane song .... and inside the Cebu Pacific plane after take-off.











At HK International airport... with Sam loving the walkalator and the MTR train ride.















After lunch, we immediately went to Ocean Park. The husband was very much excited and happy with all the rides. You see, he vowed that he'll take advantage all the wild rides with his brother...something he never had the chance whenever we go here. (takot kasi ako sa rides! corny ako!) He and his brother rode most of the rides more than twice such as the mine rail, log cabin, abyss and roller coaster. Too scary for me to join them!! While my SIL, Sam and I explored the A-toll reef, shark aquarium and watched the dolphin show.

After the OP trip, we had dinner again at Cafe de Coral. Food choices here so amazing... I think I'll never get tired of their vast menu options! Hahaha! We all decided to rest early ... need energy for our Disney trip the next day.


Day 2: Tun Chung outlet shopping and Hongkong Disneyland

Trip to HK will never be complete without my quick visit to Tun Chung outlet stores. Since I was pressured by hubby to shop fast, I was able to buy few slacks and blouses from Esprit and UCB only. Got two Samsonite bags for Sam and was able to browse RL store. Was really disappointed here got no size at RL. Sayang! And since most items on sale for winter clothes, was not able to buy much.

Tun Chung stop is next to Sunny Bay MTR. This is the station going to Disneyland. Despite cold weather and little drizzle..nothing can stop us to enjoy the happiest place on earth! As soon as we arrived here, we immediately took advanatge of all the shows : Golden Mickey, Lion King, Stitch Encounter, Philhar's magic. No changes from my last June visit.

Sadly, due to occasional rain, the Disney parade was short. They presented Disney Parade Rainy Day special wherein the Disney casts aboard the giant float.

Sam enjoyed HK so much! She enjoyed the trip here in Disney especially the shows and the rides. She loves Donald from Philharmagic and it was simply divine seeing her shouting and reacting on the 4D magic. Sammie loved the Pooh ride, Dumbo lift and the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup. Never showed any fear and was all smile, giggling and screaming in delight. Haayy...really worth it seeing her enjoying the day at Disneyland. Sulit pagod!


Our HK Disneyland Pictures










Got lots of pictures to share but too tired to upload it! Hahaha! Blame it on my PLDT DSL connection here at home!! Will try to post more pics ....

Anyway, 'til my next post... Macau Trip
