Thank goodness for free wifi at the hotel. We eventually settled for Noah Ark’s, one of the attractions that we had considered earlier. It is near to the airport and they have luggage storage facilities.
We woke up and took our time to do last minute packing before a leisure breakfast and then checked out. Then, we hopped onto the MTR to Tsing Yi. The train was fairly packed and we survived with Popo and ah yee’s extra hands. We would probably opt for something less adventurous if we had been on our own. It was impossible to handle 2 kids, 1 stroller and 2 luggages on our own via public transport to the airport.
Upon alighting at Tsing Yi, we had to take another public bus. By then, I think we were really tourist experts of the public transport system by then. Then there was more walking and climbing up and down the stairs before we finally reach Noah’s Ark. Noah Ark is located right next to a beach and the kids seemed more excited to play on the beach than Noah Ark.
Noak Ark is more than just about the biblical story. There were some creepy animals that the children can look at and plenty of green information to read up on.
One of the segments is rooms filled with children activities and they were crowded with HKGers. The kids don costume and pretended to be the circus master.
There were also activities to encourage visitors to embrace life and happiness. We go into this cubicle and chose one of the 4 strings to pull, signifying the choices that we get to make in life. Then different things will drop on our head. We were taught to embrace the different challenges in life. Lil Shauna and I had balls rained down our heads. Seeing balls, Lil Isaac wanted to try to but had water instead and ended up crying so pitifully. Lol.
We found lunch in Noah Ark and were surprised at how cheap the food were, like HKD 24 (S$4), only to amusing realize how small the portions were.
We left Noah Ark at 4.30pm and took the airport express bus to the airport, which wasn't a long ride. Lil Isaac took his nap.
Time passed easily and soon it was time to board the plane.
Lil Isaac was very much awake this time, having awaken from his nap not too long ago. He waited impatiently for the plane to take off so that he could watch “TV”. Unfortunately Frozen was off the screen and Lil Isaac caught Tazan instead while having his kid’s meal onboard.
I still prefer night flight where the kids just sleep. There were no other shows for him after Tazan ended and he was very noisy and cranky until the time that he fell asleep. Phew. Lil Shauna fell asleep too and we had to wake her up to make her walk off the plane. Lil Isaac had the privilege to be carried off the plane but he is seriously growing. My poor arms!
The taxi home was alright with the kids getting quieter along the way. Hehe.
We enjoyed our HKG trips, like all the rest of the holidays. I love holidays and I think Daddy Lim has caught my virus too. Right after the HKG holiday, he was asking me where we would go next. Hahaha. This will also be a holiday with ah yee and popo for a long time to come. The last trip with popo was a long time ago to Korea. She usually preferred not to tag along now that our trips are very kids-centric. She probably wouldn't come along this time too if it is not for ah yee who brought her to do sightseeing and even the Macau casino. As for ah yee, she had to put up with popo's grumbling a lot this trip but would definitely appreciate the time spent with popo in view of her impending return to France. So mission accomplished for everybody. Hehe.
