Day 1:
Arrived at the airport around 11 AM. We touched ground 2 hours too early for our pick up with the tour coordinator so we decided to go on our own tour around airport's mall area.
Gucci Shop, just having this store in a airport alone promises a fun shopping experience in HK.
Our home away from home. 3-Star Guang Dong Hotel, inclusive in our Hong Kong travel package.
Travel coordinator brought us to our hotel and left the tourist's kit which contains our itinerary, a city map, and a booklet of Hong Kong guide with essential hotline numbers incase of emergency. We had the rest of the day for rest. Seriously, my beau and I made a plan that we'll just take a shower and go out. But then we dozed as a result of our maya-na habit.
Day 2:
Had a buffet breakfast care of Guang Dong Hotel. The food served were continental. I was a bit disappointment 'coz I was already craving for authentic Chinese cuisine. Nevertheless the food was great.
We explored the city with the guided tour and followed itinerary that we got from the group buying site deal info. We went to Tai Sin Temple, Avenue of the Stars, Victoria's Peak, and downtown Kowloon.
Cable car ride to reach the peak.
Shuttle service dropped us off our hotel before the evening, so we freshened up for a bit and finally went out to experience downtown on our own. The first thing we mauled over for was food. Obviously.
The famous soup dumpling!
After our dine-in to restaurant nearby our hotel, I dragged my boyfriend to shop on different streets but we couldn't wait for the Ladies Night Market so I bought a few items I liked. Then, of course, we ate again. This time on hawkers central.
Tofu like you've never tasted before.
Soy bean noodle. Yum!
Day 3:
Complimentary Disneyland tour. My beau liked it, but I wasn't too excited about the erm, mascots. I am not girly-girl and I never hummed my childhood with Disney songs or dreamt of being a princess. But anyways, the whole day tour was fine.
It was the day before New Year so of course they had to wear Chinese costumes.
This one of my favorite moments during the vacation.
And this one too.
So yeah, I guess, Disneyland was pretty awesome. It's really magical and also romantic since I was with my prince charming.
That's all for now. Part II of our Hong Kong adventure will be posted soon. ;)
