Hong Kong Trip Day 2

Ate polo-yau for breakfast before we head off!!!

Photobucket

got a nice cozy corner for ourselves, heh

Photobucket

We then took a bus to ocean park and walked till our legs cramp climbing up and down the hill the whole day TT

Photobucket

Photobucket

have to take a cable car over from the main entrance (or you can walk 2 days lol)

Photobucket

Photobucket

we bought lots of photo souvenirs too. damn. so easy to bluff tourists...

Photobucket

first stop was some super big swing that goes 360degrees

Photobucket

then sat on a slow moving tower that goes to the top and comes down slowly. not much view actually...

Photobucket

Photobucket

then we went to look at some sleeping seals hahaha

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

The place is not that small but there's only a few worthy rides - the 2 roller coasters and the drop. We spent more of our time walking actually.

Photobucket

Photobucket

tada!

Photobucket

and their escalators are so bloody long you can snap lots of photos and pose for very long

Photobucket

Saw the dolphin show, which is quite touching for me because you can really feel the bond between the trainer and dolphin. The dolphins respond well and almost look like they adore the trainer, showering them with hugs and kisses and pushing them to swim through the waters and swimming in harmony with them. A real eye opener for me. And the seals were just too cute - they even do acrobatics like standing on 1 fin O.o wish I'd manage to capture the moment!!

Photobucket

bond between the trainers and the dolphins... <3

Photobucket

and they jump in synch!

Photobucket

also took this drop

Photobucket

but it's pretty normal. in the queue though this son was trying to persuade his mom not to take the drop and the mom finally gave in when it was almost their turn. amusing. mom looks 50-60+, son late 20s-30. haha.

Went to look at jelly fish too and got quite a lot of nice captures

some changing colors jellyfish. probably cos of the lighting though... this is taken by digicam

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

more strange thread-like jellyfishes

Photobucket

i like this hat!

Photobucket

After that we headed to the main entrance via a shuttle bus (the cable queues around 4-5pm is just crazy long..) and we finally got to the aquarium my sister has been pining for. Saw 2 very unique and pretty seahorses, so it was well worth it!
my bro's gf took so many nice pictures with her digicam so i'm gonna spam it all here 8D

Photobucket

Photobucket

i really like this seahorse!!!! looks like leaves...

Photobucket

Photobucket

and this one is so colorful. can't believe they are seahorses.

Photobucket

biggie stingray

Photobucket

yes we're looking at it from the bottom!

Photobucket

these are those fat legs juicy spider kanis

Photobucket

it's a shark!

Photobucket

Our last stop is at the panda place. The sleeping panda just looks like Tare panda...

Photobucket

Photobucket

and souvenir pandas!

Photobucket

I kind of feel sorry for the fishes and the panda actually because people kept taking photos of them WITH FLASH even though they were told not to and it's probably basic common sense and courtesy to do so. Oh well.

Took a couple more shots at the entrance before we left

Photobucket

and failed jump shots...

Photobucket

Headed to Causeway Bay and walked around for a bit.

Photobucket

Saw this! happy woman!

Photobucket

we were pretty hungry so we grabbed some streetside food

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

We met up with Karen, my sis's HK friend at Causeway Bay around 730pm and finally got to sit down and have a good meal after a whole day of walking...

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

tried to order as little as possible cos we were full after the snacks but the set meant for 4 person could feed 8...

Photobucket

We then headed home and actually slept early to prepare for another day of walking ahead!!
