HONG KONG (Part III)
still working on this…..
monday 6.15
we returned back to the hotel and got our rooms…the new room was a bit bigger…yay!later that day we met up for hot pot with pat’s grandma and half uncle. i didn’t get to eat that much b/c meghan was super fussy and tired when we got there so i just took her back to the hotel room and gave her a shower and put her to bed…i think i actually ended up falling asleep and pat brought me back some food…. yummy…
tuesday 6.16
we headed over to central to meet up with dithmar and went over admiralty to drop off some tuxes….we had lunch at yoshinoya and hung out a little bit before headed back to central and going to the peak. there was a little bit of a line, but wasn’t too bad…
pat & meghan in front of the peak tram fountain…meghan looking out the window…going up.
pretty view… more views… looking out the window…we decided not to pay extra for the view b/c it was a bit ridiculous b/c you could already see enough before…pat and i had realized that the new building wasn’t there when we were there back in 2004… but decided to go eat at cafe deco where we had eaten almost 5 years before…it was an afternoon snack…
pat got his beer… i had this yummy virgin cold drink with mango and strawberry…meghan happy with her chicken nuggets… pat and i shared this steak sandwich, that for some reason was on the appetizer list… meghan and a yummy fruit plate.
having fun with meghan at cafe deco…. an old peak tram turned office… the other side of hong kong island…the new building they put up (so people could spend more money on stuff)
time for a family photo op… this is literally right before it started pouring… where we thought it’d be a good idea to head back
waiting for the peak tram to come back up… control room… just waiting to head back down.
going down on the peak tram
cameo at lan kwai fong…meghan knocked out at dinner after a 14 HOUR DAY WITH NO NAP! pat’s dad’s hs friends and his momwednesday 6.17
we headed over to pat’s grandma’s house and hung out for a little bit before we had lunch out in central…. meghan had fun walking in ging ging’s shoes and pat had a nice nap…
we went to lan kwai fong and met up with dithmar and jonathan and had lunch at california… i got a burger… and we got a pizza so meghan could eat something and hopefully keep her busy…but she ended up in our laps…. it only lasted for a little bit… after lunch we headed up to where dithmar was staying and meghan ended up taking a nap.
food
meghan about to pass out… view down below of lan kwai fong… and some random person burning something
thursday 6.18
OCEAN PARK DAY!
we chose this day since we were getting booked up and we still hadn’t been to ocean park at all during our stay. we took the mtr to causeway bay and then got in line for the buses to ocean park… it was meghan’s first bus ride and we managed to sit in the seats on the upper levels right in front… pat was saying people were probably scared of getting into an accident so that’s why the seats were available…
on the double decker bus on the front seat…the line getting longer for the ocean park bus…driving around…getting off
back entrance to ocean park…we tried to stay away from crowds
according to pat… the second longest set of escalators…the first being the ones going up to the mid-levels… meghan going up, up, up on the escalator.
first stop, a look at the view…and checking out sea lions that i’m assuming we’d probably see in the sf bay….haha
we made meghan do this…got her a fan so she could cool off b/c it was HOT!!!we checked out the atoll reef… this exhibit was really cool you start up top…and go down deeper in the water… it was pretty cool… a lot of neat fishies to see…and rays…and sharks… etc…
