Watch us grow!
After a brief stop at the hotel, we went back out and rode the train to dinner.
Auntie Kelly had a pre-wedding dinner at a hot pot place in North Point.The girls played their version of Uno while dinner was being set-up.
Janie also tried some raw geoduck and loved it.
She filled up on geoduck before going down for the night.
Looks like jetlag caught up with them because they were both out before 7pm.
After breakfast, we headed outside and met up with Auntie Amy, Uncle Jay, Amelia, and Ellie.
We rode lots of escalators to get to the correct train. We transferred once to get to Ocean Park.
The kids did a great job following directions and walking from place to place.
On the final train, everyone got to sit down and enjoy the ride.
We arrived at Ocean Park and met up with the Ankong and Ama. The kids were excited to see the pandas so that’s where we went first.
Peanut was happy to see the monkeys swinging around.
The panda was sitting up top with his back side visible for most of the time we were there. He was also very far away at the top of the exhibit (dark rectangle doorway at the top).
Then he suddenly turned around to show his face and Mama captured a photo of his very brief showing with her zoom lens. Yay!
Ankong also bought Janie her very own panda. She named him Pancake.
There was an aquarium that had lots of exhibits that let you see the sea creatures up close.
We had lunch at the Panda Cafe and they had sesame baos that looked like pandas! So cute!
After lunch, we rode the carousel and walked through their replica of Old Hong Kong.
The sky tram ride took us up and over the mountain to the other side of the park.
Peanut woke up just in time to see the last part of the ride.
On the other side, there was an arctic area where they had rides and penguins!
The girls ran around and watched all the penguins swimming in the water.
At the end of the day, the girls sat around and played with their pandas.
We had such a fun time at Ocean Park!
The kids were up at 7am in Hong Kong today and were starving. Luckily, we booked an executive room that included free breakfast every morning. It was on the 31st floor overlooking the city and the dining room was fancy!
The kids did well sitting in the chairs and eating without making too much of a mess.
Hong Kong, we’re ready for you!!
We arrived in Hong Kong very late on Wednesday (almost midnight). Janie was so relieved to be free but so tired from our 2-day journey to the other side of the world.
We arrived at the hotel past midnight this morning and we were greeted by this beautiful Christmas tree and the kids were still awake and smiling. Now it was time to go to bed to rest up for the day.
