Hongkong International Airport

March 10, Wednesday  - It was our last day in Hongkong and Warren (our travel agent slash tour guide) made certain that our hours are going to be spent maximized through shopping or touring around Hongkong. We played around with my new lens while the boys were helping us out with the luggage and Warren checked us out at the hotel. And my, My, MY – that hotel was expensive! The bill was close to P65,000 for three rooms and three nights. 

Aren’t my girls just gorgeous?  

There was a 7pm trip from Kowloon Hotel to the airport and we hurriedly got on it the minute it parked outside. It was soo hard to leave yet and I can’t believe I’m going to be missing our hotel room that has my hair dye stains on the bath tub and super small refrigerator that houses all our leftover sio mais.

Nathan and Kimberley Road Hongkong

 March 10, 2010 — Our last day in Hongkong was entirely and solely dedicated to shop in Kowloon. Basically from Kowloon Hotel, we crossed the street to Nathan Road and walked all the way to Kimberley Road and back. By all the way, I meant aaaaaaaaaaaall the way.

Did some little sightseeing

We also did a pre-celebration of Warren’s birthday at this dimsum place on the 11th Floor of Chuang Jordan London Plaza. Sorry, we didn’t remember the name of the place. Continue reading »

Heading to Macau

The next day after our Hongkong Disneyland trip and Modern Toilet visit, the group was scheduled to leave for Macau early morning. Well, I just had to post outside our hotel ahahah. Behind me, ladies and gents, is the Peninsula Hotel in Kowloon Hongkong. Bow.

Again, after a series of subways, trains and escalators, we waited at the Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal Shun Tak Centre at Sheung Wan (500PHP if you can say that without trouble for 2 seconds) for our Turbo Jet ride to Cotai Strip.

I have to agree with Warren. We could have made Macau as our last stop for the Hongkong trip because it will save us time. See, going to Macau from Hongkong is almost a 4hr ride by their fast craft. For TurboJet, they have a promo where you will only pay HKD$176 instead of the usual HKD $236 charge for Super Class accommodation if you use a Visa card for 4 people. Since there were eight of us, we used my VISA and Warren’s and we saved HKD$60 or P360. Not bad, yes? Another reason why it is always best to go in groups!

Waiting at the terminal in Hongkong took 900 photos
