Hong Kong - Day 3

Its a drizzling morning.
Need to mention, someone need to check the weather outside to determine the type of clothing for the day.
Its clear that we need to wear some sweaters today.

Breakfast at Starbucks at the opposite building. 

 View from Starbucks- our hotel is somewhere on the right side of far right Sasa.
On the way to the Big Bus Tour Station - nearby The Peninsula hotel (around our hotel).

Kowloon Mosque
Around Kowloon area - it was a busy town indeed
While on the bus- this is our last route for the 48hrs bus tour.

Among the tallest building in Hong Kong 
The tour is only for half of the day.
Next, we plan to explore the 'Ngong Ping'
Ngong Ping is located in Lantau island, i.e. along with the airport & Disneyland. 
It took around 30mins to reach there.  

We got off at Tung Cgung station and its where the Citigate outlet is located.
So, jenjalan cuci mata sebentar to check what is there to grab, hehe.
The cable car




I couldnt really recall how long it took us, but I knows its around 30 to 45mins.
Coz its quiet far tho, we passes about 3 hills to reach there.


Sampai akhirnya...

 Punya lah kuat angin...dah jadi macam jakun plak.
It was soooo windy up there..and its cold!!
 but i like cold..eazy breezy weather kan...




 replicate village up there..
 Tak ingat la how much we spent for the ticket..
 Coming down..
It is around 6pm..(que since 4.30pm k..- such a longgg que down)..
So, its started to dark by 6pm, plus its raining, and midst all over..
tak nampak apa2..memang menyeramkan..
 muka yg boring...coz no more excitement whilst coming down

 Akhirnye...
Bersopping at Citygate..and we left ard 9++pm..
 Not many people in the train, so boleh posing2


 train yg kosong...
BTW, kena transit2 train ye...its not a one-way trip 
  Our dinner..
We try to eat at other resto...still not that far from our hotel
 the menu and prices

Balik...before i sleep..sapu la deep heat all over my feet and also betis...
just one way to reduce the pain & tiredness, 
hehe...

inside the monorail

Relax a while and after maghrib, went out to makan then go to Arena of Stars.
Just across the street, its nearby our hotel.
(BTW, our hotel is next to Sheraton. Senang sikit if nak tanya orang, if sesat, hehe) 

We miss the 'Symphony of Light', but its fine. Ada byk masa lagi.



*******************
Next morning - time to explore the island!!

The morning midst.
Its kind of cool here as its quite mendung.
Good thing is, weol doesnt bring any extra jacket etc coz from feedbacks- they said its quite panas already in HK. 

Hmmm...tak pasal2 pulak need to buy light jacket, uh..
Purchased Big Bus Tour ticket (abt RM150 kut, for 48hrs pass). Ticket ispurchased at the Pier, nearby our hotel.
We need to take ferry to get into the bus.
-T on the bus-
Surrounding view...
High rise buildings are everywhere maybe since the land is quite limited.

 Our first route is the 'green line'.
Its the most best route - i love the Stanley area..
This is Stanley..
 it is Sunday - this is the bbq pit. 
Maka beramai2 la bersantaian di sini. 
I think this is quite a prime area. 
Maybe mostly expats. - Maserati showroom-


 This is Stanley market

 Some fresh produce plus some souvenirs, t-shirt etc.
Tapi tak beli apa2 pun masa ni..

 Seafood across Stanley. What a pleasant view.




 Stanley shopping mall




After Stanley, we hop on to the tour bus again to explore other part of the island.
The is the 'red line' route.
I think its Wan Chai area. 

 These are all their condos.
Sayupnyer...kurus2 nyer....

*********************
Next stop is 'The Peak'


Ada Hard Rock Vafe & Madame Tussauds kat situ.
Planned another visit for a night view, so I dont drop by at HRC.. 
But sudah nye, no 2nd visit, huhu.

-the tramp to get up there-
 


 Trem around Wan Chai area
 We are back at TST area when its dinner time.
Exploring the area
 On the way to our fav resto there - Happy Camel



 The salad is nice.
I love one of the salad's garnish - its the mayonese herbs..sedap..
 rice with kebab..hmmm..yummm yumm

 nearby our hotel



 
 Hong Kong dollars. I couldnt recall the conversion.
Always rely to my ipod to calculate the currencies. 


just to share.
This is common alley in HK. need to mention, its road its quite narrow.
probably due to limited land size. 
(on other note-quite impress with my iphone5 pic capturing, tho its by accident).  

ciao...
