Hong Kong – Day 4

After our quick early breakfast this morning, we set off for another full day of fun at the Ocean Park.

When we arrived, our tour guide informed us that we have the whole day of fun and will return to pick us up in the evening. We did not waste any time and went straight to check out the places of good rides for our kids.







Our first stop was to visit the lovable pandas. The kids were excited to see the pandas but there was a long queue as usual. When we finally got inside the air-conditioned room, there was only one panda left as the others had gone back to their nest… not sure why but perhaps it’s time for them to rest…





There was a new ‘ride’ which will lead you to the other side of the park for those weak at heart… The so-called ‘underwater’ ride was like a MRT taking you to the other side, somehow replacing the cable car ride. It was really boring but thank goodness it was a short ride.

When we arrived, we went for early lunch at McDonald’s. Half way through our lunch, Faith and Shevaun was having their meals too and later wanted to roam around the area. I somehow noticed two Chinese Nationals couples seated near our area eyeing on our children. They behaved quite suspiciously and after a short exchanged of words, the men went away to sit about 6 rolls away from us while the women continued to look at our children.

It was a mother’s instinct to protect your child and I immediately carried Faith in my arms and had her entertained with ice-cream for the first time while my father-in-law took care of Shevaun. Not long after, the two Chinese women walked away to meet their men at the other end. When they left, my mum asked if I took noticed of the couple and I was surprised that she was aware too…

After lunch, instead of taking some of the rides in the theme park, we ended up at the game stores playing different games. Surprisingly, even the adults enjoyed playing those booth games… the images of childhood…

By the late afternoon, we were all tied out and took the cable car ride back to the main entrance. While waiting for our tour bus to pick us, we found a cooling place for the elderly to rest while the young ones went to the huge aquarium to check out some sea creatures.







Though we have been to Ocean Park for few times but nothing compared to the new experience of spending it with our little one.
