Ocean Park

When you are in Hong Kong, Ocean Park will be another place to visit. Today is kind of special coz we will be exploring the park with my office buddies who are in Hong Kong at the same time. Yes, we planned before we flew off to HK and we finally meet up for a good time at Ocean Park.

However, it started to rain heavily when we arrived at Ocean Park but we were still able to enter the park with our raincoats and umbrellas. The park was filled with people and we found out that many rides were closed. We checked with the staff and found out that the rides will remained closed till further notice due to the typhoon. DAMN…. It was disappointing but we continue to wait.

We walked around the park and found a place where the kids can at least have some fun. Well, it’s all about spending money to win some prizes. We stayed to play the ticum ticum for a while and then went to have our lunch at the Panda Café.

After lunch, we went to check out if the rides are open but to our disappointment, it remained closed. Hubby brought little Emma back to hotel as she was tired and fell asleep while we decided to go shopping instead since rides are not available for the day.

We headed down to causeway bay for some shopping and we even went for an afternoon tea break. Though it was mentioned that there will be a big typhoon tonight we remained calm and continue to enjoy our tea break.

Since there was a warning that the typhoon no. 8 will be visiting HK tonight and tried to avoid getting ourselves in that situation, we hurried back to hotel. True enough, the rain got heavier and it did not stop there… the wind was so strong that we could hear howling sound in our room which was quite frightening. This is something we had never experienced in Singapore and we were glad that we are safe in our hotel room.

Man… I am thankful that we will not experience such weather back home!
