It's our third day in Hong Kong and today we will be leaving Disney Hollywood Hotel for The Kowloon Hotel in Tsim Tsa Tsui. I packed up everything, all the free toothbrushes, bath gels and shampoos, bedroom slippers, stationery set and even the laundry bag (which had the words "Laundry" embroidered. Check out time was at 11.00 am and we didn't even had time to try the swimming pool, hu hu.
Anyway, our bags were kept by the concierge, we then went to the hotel's park and took pictures with the Hollywood sign and the cars and the view of the lake, nice! We also went to Disneyland Hotel but even though I met Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella here, we decided that Disney Hollywood Hotel had more places and activities for Ababe Jr.
We left Disneyland after having lunch of shrimp and tuna pizza (yummy!) at the Disney Hollywood Hotel for the last time. Took the train to Tsim Tsa Tsui, bought the Octopus cards where we all got cheaper rates when taking the MTR. The train and train station for Disneyland is extra nice and special.
The MTR stopped at our station and we came out almost immediately at our Hotel's doorstep. The Kowloon Hotel is located at a very nice area, immediately behind The Peninsula thus I was immediately looking at Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Goyard, Burberry, Bally...sigh... I only took pictures from the outside, not daring to go inside incase I can afford them!!! Ya right!!!
Our room number is 1013 and it was a very small room. I guess beggars can't be choosy but we can't help comparing with the room at Disneyland where we had 2 double beds in the room! After checking in, we took the MTR to Central and then walked to the tram station to get to The Peak. It was already misty and cloudy, so by the time we reached the top, it wasn't that clear anymore. But the cooling breeze and atmosphere made drinking coffee at the Pacific Coffee very refreshing and enjoyable.
We stayed until it was dark so that we got the view for both day and night time. It was Ababe Jr's first encounter with Bruce Lee and he was quite excited about another Jackie Chan and was always practising his Kung Fu moves. We also went to The Hard Rock Cafe, Hong Kong which is located at The Peak Galleria but it only sells merchandise here. Their Kowloon HRC was currently being relocated, nonetheless Mrs Ababe and Ababe Jr bought matching tshirts of HRC Hong Kong...
When we reached ground level, we got on the double decker bus with no top and zoomed through the city to take the Star Ferry across. During the ride on the ferry we missed The Festival of Lights which was performing by the harbour. Went to find food since I had an address of some halal food near our hotel area. We were so happy to discover that it was very near and there were a lot of choices. Thus food in town would not be a problem. Again another hectic day and we were all exhausted by the time we got to the hotel.
Tomorrow is another day and we had already signed up with the hotel for a tour group to the Ocean Park. We have to be ready by 8.25 am, darn! Fortunately this is the only 1 trip that we followed a tour group. I couldn't sleep early that night, most probably from that wonderful Latte I had at The Peak or just from the excitement of the trip.
