The tour guide came to fetch us as early as 8am and man… my brain was still in dreamland… they brought us for dim sum breakfast but it was too early for my stomach to take in food. After breakfast, they took us to Repulse Bay which housed some of the famous celebrities. It was pretty sunny in the morning though it was winter! Most of us have been to the Repulse Bay so; we were somehow on our own while the rest of the group went to explore the area.
After lunch, we set off to Lantau Island via cable car which was really scary for me. There was some news that many tourists were trapped in the cable car due to some technical issues. I am no fan of great heights but cable car is the fastest way up to the mountain. It took about 25 minutes ride to the top and when we arrived… we were shocked to see a long queue for the cable car back to the city.
We found out that the last cable ride back to city was 7pm and in fact, there wasn’t enough time for us to explore the area as it was already 4pm when we arrived. Some of the family members started to queue while the rest went to walk around the nearby shops. We thought it was totally waste of our time just to travel up and queue for the return ride… simply STUPID!
While queuing, there were some bubble machines to keep our kids entertained as it was really a ‘DRAGON’ queue. It took us an hour or so to reach the cable car station and another 20 minutes for our cabin. By the time we arrived on ground level, it was already 7pm!
We found our tour bus waiting for us and we were the first family to board. The bus waited for about half an hour before sending us back to hotel. It was one tiring day for all of us and we decided to dine at the famous wanton shop near our hotel.
We turned in early tonight as tomorrow will be a long day at Disneyland.
Just to add… our little one turned 18 months and it was a great way to celebrate with her.
