Hong Kong - 27th October 2011

There are no sleep ins when we are on holidays! This morning we grabbed some breakfast and headed to the outlet shops near our hotel (we were there before the shops actually opened, so had to settle for some window shopping at first)! Wade and I both bought some new shoes and then it was off to Ocean Park (this also involved catching a train and a bus - lucky Wade loves Theme Parks or we might not have gone!!). Ocean Park is a mixture of rides and animals including seals, penguins, birds, fish and of course - the Pandas! It is set around a mountain, with most of the rides on the far side and most of the animals closest to the entrance. To get to the other side involves either a cable car over the top, or a train through the middle of the mountain. We ended up taking the cable car over and the train back. The highlight for me (of course) were the Pandas, who put on a good show while we were there. I'm pretty sure if you asked Wade the same question he would say it was one of the rollercoasters! We also ate lunch at a restaurant which is essentially on the inside of an aquarium. While the food was pretty ordinary, watching the fish, sharks, sting rays and turtles go past while we were eating was fun. Once we were done we headed back to the hotel for a little while. Tonight we wandered down to the waterfront and watched the Harbour Light Show and then walked along the Avenue of the Stars. After another huge day, we decided for an easy dinner! We found a little Pizza shop in an alleyway on the way back to the hotel, grabbed a Pizza and coke and took it back to the hotel to eat in our room!!

Here are some pictures from today:
