Today we had a chilling day by the pool and we went to The New Sangeet for tea(it has become our weekly restaurant!!). The Indian food is fantastic and we love the live band-which also play Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire! It is time for my weekly review today, but instead of reviewing restaurants I am going to review all the trips I have been on this week. We have eaten in a lot(because we got back late from the trips) which I have enjoyed because Mum and Dad are great chefs: Normandy Chicken; Bruschetta and fried potatoes; Spaghetti Bolognaise and many more!
Disneyland - is absolutely fantastic. I was glad that we went when it was forecast to be rainy because 1. it put a few people off and 2. we didn't get as hot and exhausted. We went on lots of rides but my favourite was It's a Small World because you got in a boat and sailed round the different countries of the world. I also liked The Lion King Show and the Mickey Water Parade.
The Science Museum - is very good because it is interactive and there is a lot to do. You learn a lot about different aspects of science and I particularly enjoyed the electrical experiments and the fitness tests. It was a good way to spend half a day when the weather wasn't that good.
Cheung Chau - you have to get the fast ferry from Central to Cheung Chau. This was a great ride because we went up and down a bit which dad wasn't too keen on because he gets sea sick. It was particularly good when a hydrofoil went past us and created a big swell. We hired bikes at the harbour and the place was very interesting because it felt very Chinese compared to Hong Kong Island. We had a great time and would recommend the Windsurf Shack which is run by the only Chinese olympic gold medallist produced by Hong Kong.
The Escalator - the escalator starts near the Hang Seng bank, a short walk from Central Pier. It runs downhill until 10.00 am to let the people who live in mid-levels go to work. From then on it goes uphill so that people can get up the steep hills of Hong Kong! It is a fun way to see different areas of Hong Kong. We went right to the top and then proceeded on to the Zoological and Botannical Gardens.
The Zoological and Botannical Gardens - you would think that there is no greenery to be seen in Hong Kong but actually when you seek it out there are plenty of places where you can go and enjoy tropical gardens. There were different cages dotted amongst the tropical greenery. The gibbons were particularly good fun because they were swinging along their cage and were very active. The raccoons were very cute and seemed very interested in their carrots! One of them even attempted to make carrot soup by dropping his carrots into the water and stirring it around with his paw. This is a great place to spend a few hours and we are thinking of going again but taking a picnic with us.
Overall favourite outing: Disneyland.
That's all for now.
Speak soon.
