Last Day : Hong Kong-Macau-Kota Kinabalu

17th May is our last day in Hong Kong. After we had our breakfast, we brought our kids to the roof top of the hotel for swimming. Its so cold up there and my husband did not swim at all. The wind blowing so hard and that make it more cold especially when we were out from the swimming pool.



After we checked out from Harbour Plaza Hotel at 11.00am, we took a taxi to the other ferry terminal to Macau. " First Ferry "was the name of our ferry back to Macau. Arrived at Macau around 1pm so we have about 3 hours to just walking near by the ferry terminal. When we were inside the ferry we saw a mini Amsterdam building, so we thought of going and look what is it actually. We went around with just walking because it is not far from the ferry terminal. We stop by at one cafe and ate 3 pieces of cake (we shared) and a soft drinks, consider this is our lunch for today.



At 4.30pm back to the ferry terminal to took our baggages and took a taxi to Macau's Airport. Before we look for a taxi, we gave the kids ice cream to eat, because of so tired, they just sit on the floor. No worries, the Floor was clean and the cleaner is so hardworking person. every 5 minutes she pass by and clean the floor. hehehehe
We don't care. People just starred and looked at us. Our flight schedule was at 19:40 to Kota Kinabalu. We are all tired and need to sleep.



We arrived at Kota Kinabalu Terminal 2 airport at 22:30.

Finally, I finished my story of our vacation to Macau-Hong Kong. To see more photos you can go to My Picasa.

End of the story and thanks for reading the story even thought its boring..hahahahaha

Part 4: Ocean park, Hong Kong


The entrance of Ocean park.

16th May, we have planed to visit the "Ocean park", Hong Kong, since both of my kids like sea creatures, so maybe its good for them to see it in real world. Usually they watched them as a cartoon in the "finding nemo" movie, and they really enjoy it, especially when they see "Bruce" the shark.

We get up early, caused need to take the 9'oclock ferry to Central. From Central we have to take the bus to the Ocean park. So we managed to go to the park on time. The park opening hour was at 10:00 am. We got there around 10.05am and my husband directly bought the entrance tickets for us.

Ocean Park is a big park. If you want to see more, you have to go to other side of the island with the cable car. This is my first time using this cable car. Luckily Hakim and Aishah is not afraid. I saw one child who cried when his mother want to go inside the cable car.


View from inside of the cable car.

To make the story short, we visited the Shark Aquarium, Sea lion and the big aquarium. We went back to our hotel around 2:30pm, with bus to central and ferry to Kowloon. We walked a lot at the ocean park. Its a bit hilly and that make us tired of walking from one place to another place. Luckily some hill have escalator. They have a few escalators at inside the park.

Here only Hakim and Papa play the "River Ragging". Hakim had done a lot for this vacation. All the games he want to tried.
We plan watched the Light show of Hong Kong at 8:00pm. Arrived at our hotel at 3:00pm, and took a afternoon nap.



At night we went to Star Avenue to watched the "Hong Kong Lights show". The show is not really interesting and not as spectacular as we thought. They only playing with the lights of highest building and it just like the are flashing the spotlight on the sky. We manage to took some photos of Hong Kong By night. This was our last night in Hong Kong. We took our dinner, back to hotel and that was our day on 16th May.

Part 3: Disneyland-Kowloon Hong Kong

HK15th May is our last day at Disney's hotel and the park. After we had our breakfast, we checked out and than keep our luggages at the hotel before we went to the park. We entered the park and the first character we met was Donald duck. he just arrived at the Main Street of USA while we were waiting for my husband to rent a stroller for Aishah. Aishah shouting to me and she said, " mama, mama, Donald duck," and Hakim saw it too. I took Aishah and Hakim to Donald duck and took a photo of them.



And after the session with Donald duck we went to Autopia at Tomorrow Land area. We played the small car which you can drive just like a normal car. Hakim ride with papa and Aishah ride with mama. Today we just enjoying our day with all the favorite games we like. Hakim followed my husband to ride the "Mountain Space" riding roller coaster in dark. Luckly his height is enough to ride it even thought he is just 3 years and a half. He did not scared at all and all he was told me when they were out was, "mama, Hakim sakit jantung" but then he smiled. My husband still in shocked and fainted. He said to me, "I will never ride a roller coaster anymore, this was terrible scary for me, its too dark and you cannot see anything" . Hahahahaa..

Other attraction that we enjoy the most was the house of "Its a Small World". I told you how many times we ride a boat inside the house..hahahaaa....amazing. just watch this photos we took inside the house and just imagine how it moves and dancing with the background music with different music with all the same song. Colorful as well.



We had something special to watch today at Golden Mickey, we did not have time yesterday for the Live Musical Concert of Mickey Mouse and friends. Its started at 12.45pm and we waited. I heard the "High School Musical" show in front of Fantasy land but we did not went to the show. Waiting for the gate of Golden Mickey to Open, 12:20pm the gate was opened and then we rush to the gate before other people come. I can tell you, The live Musical was wonderful and colorful. The live musical show of Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan, Toy Story, Little Mermaid, Mulan and Beauty and the Beast. Even though the Mickey mouse is speaking chinese but we still understand what they said because they have subtitle in English. But all the songs was in English don't worries. Really amazing how they changed the background of the stage and the music effect. After finished enjoying the show for 30 minutes, we stop and rest at the Tomorrow land restaurant. They we had our lunch, chicken basket, mineral water and cola.

After we had our lunch, its already 2pm, and my husband and Hakim got back to the hotel to take our luggages. We took a train to kowloon and from the metro station we took a taxi to our next hotel, Harbour Plaza at Whampoa Garden. As usual we checked in and go to our room at 18th floor of the building. The view was beautiful, facing the Victoria Harbour and we can see the ships passing by.



We went for walking just around the area and we found a building with the shape of ship. We saw a few restaurants near by the hotel and a shopping mall. We check the ferry terminal and enjoying the view of Hong Kong at the other side of the Island. Kowloon is actually located opposite the real Hong Kong city.



We got back to our hotel, take a shower and thinking, what are the plan for tomorrow. Sleep and get rest.
