Hong Kong Disney and Hong Kong

Sorry to take so long to post, things have been very busy! We spent 1 1/2 days at Hong Kong Disney, March 12, and 13th and it was really fun! It was so nice to be in such a fun and relaxing atmosphere. Sarah enjoyed the rides we went on and it was so much fun to see her joy and excitement. She didn't like the Disney characters, they were a little scary and overwhelming to her so we learned pretty quickly to keep our distance from them. The first ride she went on was similar to the Dumbo ride, little cars that went up and down and around in a circle, she would cover her eyes and then look and squeal and giggle as we went up and then dropped suddenly and the wind blew her face in a soft breeze. She slept through the parades and musical events, shopped the stores for souvenirs and made us laugh and smile.

On Saturday March 14 we took the subway into Hong Kong, took a taxi to the top of Victorias Peak and saw a beautiful view of Hong Kong. We ate lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and I must say that was a fabulous meal, we all ordered something different and shared with each other and it was probably one of the best meals we had on the trip. Sarah was given her first balloon, she didn't know quite what to think about it. It was on a long straw type stick that eventually became more trouble then it was worth and she lost interest in a short while. After lunch we took a taxi to the pier where we then boarded a ferry and took a tour around the harbor, then another taxi and on to see the Hong Kong temple. We met a nice couple coming out of the temple that were from Sandy and had been living in Hong Kong since August, we chatted with them as they walked us to the subway station. Kind of fun to run into someone who was from our neck of the woods when we were so far away.

It was then back to the hotel for dinner and packing our belongings for the long flight ahead.
