Hong Kong - Ocean Park & Symphony of Lights 17 April 2009




We woke up early to catch the tour bus that would be bringing us to Ocean Park at Aberdeen. Before arriving Ocean Park, the tour guide actually took us to a diamond shop!!! Funny! Who would buy any then have to lug the diamond all over Ocean Park? He he.

We arrived at Ocean Park around 10.30 am. Upon arriving we went on the Raging River and got wet. Then we went up the 4 longest elevators to the top of the mountain. Amazing view of the bay!

Mr Ababe and me didn't bother going on any of the roller coasters since we know Ababe Jr will not be able to ride. After watching the dolphin and seals' show, we took the cable car and went across the mountain to the other side. On the other side we went through Madagascar 2 which was quite cute! Watched an acrobatic performance, visited the pandas (Ababe Jr was disappointed that they were not like Kung Fu Panda!) who were sleeping and lazing around. Then we just spent the rest of the afternoon at the kids' section where Ababe Jr had some fun playing on all the rides. We saw Anson the dolphin training at the Dolphin University and Beemer the seal who just came back after his show! Back on the cable car to go back to the other side and waited for the bus to bring us back to the hotel.

At the hotel we decided to walk to the Avenue of Stars where Ababe Jr found a statue of Bruce Lee and kept taking pictures with him. We walked along the harbour and waited for the Symphony of Lights show which starts at 8.00pm. The breeze was very cooling and it was really nice walking and watching the show that night.

After the show we decided to take the MTR to Mong Kok and go to the Ladies' Market. Since it was raining we did a fast one, fortunately it is so like Petaling Street in Malaysia so we didn't lose out on anything much. Bought some souvenirs, caught the MTR back, grabbed dinner and headed back to the hotel....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
