HK Trip - Part 2

We took the MTR to admiralty stop - just 1 stop from TST - and then transit to the Ocean park bus.

we reached Ocean park in a jiffy!

luckily we heeded hubbi's coll advice not to go during the weekend and we were glad to see the more than manageable crowd there on a monday.

the queue lines were set up to take much more people but we seldom have to queue for most of the rides/attractions - good!

yay! we are at ocean park

we stayed pretty much to the safe attractions like the animals enclosures, kids' section etc.

all the exciting rides are not for us - ha.

at the chinese animal section - the boys got to see chinese alligators, panda (a sleepy one, no less), chinese raccoon etc

above: a fazed YR with the alligator so close to him- LOL

the kids' section was so empty but we were not complaining.

the boys had their fun at the carousel, train rides, ferry wheel, the playground etc. 

scaredy-cat YR IS still opting for the safe choice at the carousel. *tsk tsk*

on board the ferry wheel!

having fun at the playground

Next, we went to catch 2 performances - the birds and the sea lions.

and Ocean park is huge, we have to take an internal train to the other part of it.

at the other side on top of the hill, we went to see the other animals namely the penguins, sea lion, artic fox etc.

the younger son kept demanding that he wanted to see lions and elephants and we were having a hard time trying to tell him we are at Ocean park and not the zoo. ha.

there is no polar bear there despite this. :(

We left Ocean park ard 5pm, lethargic and all.

YR took a cat nap on board the bus & MTR as we made our way to Langham place @ mongkok.

after a full dinner there, we decided to walk back alllll the way from mongkok to TST!

it wasnt as daunting as we thought especially in the cool weather.

and after a good long stroll, we were back in our hotel.

and both boys hit the snooze button once they were bathed! haha.

to be honest, the husband and myself didnt last long too. we were all asleep before 11pm!

Day 5:

we had a short morning of breakfast and walking around TST area before we made our way to the airport for our afternoon flight.

and like a dream, we were back in T3 once again by dinner time!

a fun and good short trip with the family but the air could be better in HK.. i guess.

our next trip will be next mar earliest, hopefully.
