Bcos we knew that it would be a tiring morning and a risk or rain, we planned to head to the Musuem of History in the afternoon. The Space Musuem was also in consideration but bcos it was partially closed for renovation (a disappointment) when we visited 2 years back, it lost some points.
Only when we alighted from the mtr station and walking towards the musuem that we realised that the History Musuem was right beside the Science Center. We were at the Science Center with ah yee and ah tioh CY just last year!
The permanent exhibits - the HKG story - was opened to the public free of charge! There was some special chargable exhibit but we thought of trying the free one 1st before deciding if we should pay.
The kids were very excited at the start of the exhibit, particularly Zaky, who started reading the description word for word. As expected, he didnt last long and soon gave up reading. Haha.
The exhibition started with the geographical history of HKG.
To the kind of fossil found.
The natural life.
The antiques unearthed.
Lil Shauna spent a long time looking at the pretty seashells.
The last part on the culture was a little more interesting.
We didnt stay long bcos we were so freaking tired. It must be the Superpark; our legs were aching and we were constantly looking for places to sit and rest, even the kids were complaining of tired legs.
There was level 2 of the exhibits but we decided to head back after 45 mins; our legs just couldnt carry us any further. We opted to head for a snack instead.
Right before we exited the musuem, the kids played with the puzzle.
The musuem would have been more entertaining if there had been more interactive activities.
We found Starbucks! The kids enjoyed cakes while the parents grinned silly over a much desired ice mocha.
It was still bright and early when we made it back to Mong Kok and our hotel.
While I didnt bring the kids' phones/ gadgets, they hoarded our phones and were happily watching youtube bcos there wasnt a cartoon channel on TV. We did watch a lot of Animal Planet but the episodes were repeating.
Ended up, we taobaoed dinner back to the hotel. Daddy Lim had this 烧肉饭 and the roasted pork was so crispy! The kids were happy with KFC.
The kids were totally mesmerized by the phones that I had to take away the gadgets. This must how it would feel to travel with teenagers in the future; I got an early taste. Zzzzzzzzz.
The end of day 2 was again an early night bcos we were tired and there wasnt much on TV. Moreover, we had a long day ahead. The weather forecast said that it would be a bright and sunny day. Yay!
