Monday 24th August


The photo is of me at Victoria Park where I have my tennis lessons (Queen Victoria's statue behind).

As it my last week and we are busy doing last minute things, I thought I would do my top fives each day.

Today's top five is: Top Five things about Harbour Plaza Hotel.

1. Yep you've guessed it, it's the pool! To escape the heat you can always go up there for a swim and it is usually quite breezy as well.

2. The neighbourhood - Whampoa: the people are really friendly and it feels safe walking around whatever time of day. There are plenty of shops where you can get anything you need. I will really miss it when I come home but I am also looking forward to seeing my neighbourhood in the UK - Denby.

3. The Staff - they are always really friendly and helpful. I have got friendly with the man who holds the door open in reception and the lady at reception up by the pool. She doesn't even have to ask us our room number anymore as they all know us. I think we are the longest staying residents.

4. The Reception Area - when you come in from the baking heat you always get a cold blast of air conditioning and a nice smell here. It is always really busy with people coming and going but it seems really peaceful as well.

5. The Waterfront Cafe/Location - the Waterfront Cafe belongs to the hotel and surprise surprise it is situated right by the water. I like sitting there in the evening watching boats pass by and you can also see the light show if you are there at 8 pm. The food is really nice and I particularly recommend the ice-cream lollies for dessert. You get five different flavours, they are covered in chocolate and good for sharing.

Speak soon.

Lots of love Meganxxx
