Blessed Little Travelers

Today is our last day in Hong Kong and our flight is at 2 plus in the afternoon. So, we had some time in the morning to check out dim sum in Hong Kong.  What to order... So many choices... Garden Restaurant which is just a few steps away from our hotel... Dig in.... Dim sum @ Garden Restaurant is generally good and price is reasonable too.  We checked out of the hotel, and took bus A21 back to airport (Cost HKD$33) and it brings us straight to Terminal 2. From there, we got our Octopus Card refunded. We also manage to get some last minute goodies from Kee Wah Bakery. After checking in, we had to take a train to Terminal 1 where all the boarding gates are located.  For lunch, dad finally got to taste goose meat that he had been wanting to eat before leaving HK. We had lunch at Tsui Wah Restaurant and the food is yummy, portion is large too. I especially love the warm lime orange juice, it is soooo good! Satisfied! ...

Today is our last full day in Hong Kong and as mention earlier, I will be sharing our fun half day trip to Cheng Chau Island which is highly highly recommended by my cousin who stays in Hong Kong.  Cheng Chau is famous for its fishing village and also a weekend getaway for locals. Quaint and peaceful, it is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city area.  If you do have extra time during your trip, this highly recommended. You can either go for half day trip, full day trip or even at overnight trip.  In the morning, dad had a quick fix breakfast opposite the hotel while mum and me just munch some bread that we bought yesterday from the Open Kitchen, so yummy and soft. After breakfast, we took a bus from Nathan Road to the Victoria Harbour Pier (Bus 1,1A,2 or 6). It is a double decker bus and excitedly, we sat on the second floor as our stop is the final stop.  Looking fresh in the morning. Today's weather is so much w...

Today is more of a rest day for us (unofficial and unplanned actually). Upon waking up in the morning, I was down with diarrhoea and vomited a couple of times. Dad went for a fishing trip with my cousin today. Mum and me were supposed to be exploring the New Territories of Hong Kong, hitting the shopping mall. Unfortunately, I was not feeling well so I ended up eating medicine and slept for almost half a day. I was feeling a little better when I woke up at noon so we decided to take the ferry across Victoria Harbour to the mall opposite.  Across the harbour and we are now in New Hong Kong From our hotel which is located very conveniently on Nathan Road with lots of buses. We took Bus 1 that goes directly to the ferry terminal. You can also take bus 1A, 2, 6 etc. Just check the bus route at the bus stop signboard to see which bus goes where.  Once we are at the ferry terminal, we took the ferry that is bound for Central Pier. You can use Octopus Card for th...
