2016-09-29 Day 3 (Thursday): Cable Car to Lantau Buddha

Aiysha: This trip was sooo much fun! We took the MTR to the start of the cable car, and it was the most amazing ride ever! The cable car went over the biggest mountains, and it was pretty scary stuff!

Once we got there Dad a look around the shops, and then Dad tried to do some bargaining for Mummy - fail! We then walked up to the Buddha, and tried to get onto the top level, but failed! It was such a fun trip, and amazing to see HK like this - I don't remember anything from last time!

When we came back we went to watch Uncle Dave coach his girls rugby team - it was funny seeing him coach, and listening to all his funny names for moves - "Black Chicken", "Razor"! Dad and Uncle Dave also kicked the ball around, which was pretty cool. We went for a lovely dinner at the Football Club after.

Clara: I loved taking pictures using Daddy's camera. I loved climbing up to the Buddha, and the cable car ride was amazing! We played a bit of sweet and sour, which was funny.

C: Amazing trip - what a second day!

We found a french bakery on the way back yesterday, so we decided to get breakfast, and bring it to Grandad - lovely croissants and baguettes!

S: Fantastic day, and the cable car ride was so funny! Great to kick the ball around too!

2016-09-28 Day 2 (Wednesday): Ocean Park

Clara: Ocean Park was soooooo much fun! From the train ride to the other side of the park, to the log flume, to the dolphins - it was amazing! Everything about it was hilarious! The only disappointment was the prices of the photos of us on rides - I would have loved a picture of us on the Raging Rapids!

I loved the dolphins and the walruses! I was freaked out by the chinese salamanders, and thought there was one on the wall outside the tank - it was huge, and was the same colour! It was funny!

Daddy and Mummy found a couple of amazing insects - praying mantis and a stick insect - we held them, and it was sooo cool!

Aiysha: Dad and I went on the Mine Train - it was the ride with the most amazing view, and it was pretty crazy!

It was pretty empty the whole day, and we just went round on the rides so quickly! The only ride we didn't get on was the Ocean Park Tower - it was full of tour operators, so we had no patience.

We had a lovely lunch there too, but pretty expensive, so we shared. We even treated ourselves to an ice cream - yum!

We lost Mummy and Roxy once, and spent ages looking for them - Mummy could not turn her Wifi on so we couldn't Whatsapp her. In the end, we texted each other - doh!

C: We had our own dolphin show when we went to the rehabilitation centre - the trainers were there, and the dolphins did some amazing tricks, and we were soooo close! No one else was there too, so we had the show to ourselves!

We decided to take the bus back over the top of the mountain, and Daddy got a bit lost - we took the 41A bus, and he said it went the wrong way - What the! He then spotted a road that he recognised - Broadwood Road - and we had an amazing walk down to Happy Valley down the road - if only we didn't have to make an emergency exit from the bus. We did find a lovely bakery though to have breakfast! Can't wait!

S: Awesome day! We took the bus through the Aberdeen Tunnel there, but on the way back went past South Island School - it had changed a lot!

For dinner we went to the wet market for some local foot - it was amazing! Roast chicken and garlic, veges, pork neck - amazing!

What a first day for us all!
