HI Guys!!
We made it to the last leg of our Journey!! We landed in Hong Kong fine and stayed in the same hotel as we did on the way here! The room is nice we had our own bathroom which is nice and Laura and Natalie swopped around sleeping on the camp bed!!
On our first day we went on a cable car up to Ngong Ping, which is a little village in the Mountains away from mainland Hong Kong and Kowloon. We had our lunch up there too trying to decide which was the safest food to eat at the cantonese restaurant!! We then took a massive trek up like a qazillion million trillion steps, maybe thats a slight exaggeration but there was a good few hundred and it was boiling hot which didnt help!! All to see the Giant Budda which was huge! we also went into a temple of a thousand buddas and had a look in a few of the shops before heading back in the cable car.
On our way back to our hotel we found the ladies market, so decided to drop our stuff back at the hotel and then go back to have a look. We all bought a few things, Natalie loving haggling with the locals!
We went to Hong Kong Disneyland, so were up very early! It was a really nice day, and we all had a great time! We had our photos taken with the characters, went on all the rides including the teacups, space mountain and winnie the pooh, we watched disney on parade which was really cool and bought lots of souvniers! We stayed for the firework show at the sleeping beauty castle which was awesome and didnt get back till late so we were all exhausted!
We went to Macau in china, we took a ferry there which took about just over an hour! The ferry was surprisingly fast but the sea was really choppy so Lauren and Laura slept most of the way there! When we got there we took a rickety old bus into the main town square, and got our map out and did some serious touristy sight seeing, we seen St Pauls Cathedral and the fortress and then went on a Hike around the city seeing various churches! It was quite strange seeing buildings that look like the belong in Portugal in the middle of this Chinese City that was really build up! For lunch we found a Pizza Hut and pigged out, as we are sick of eating weird looking disgusting cantonese food!
We went shopping around the city as we had time to kill as our flight for home didnt leave until midnight! We cant believe our trip has gone so fast, we all wish money grew on trees so that we didnt have to come back and work, so that we could just travel the world without a care in the world! Wishful thinking!!!
Lots of Love,
Laura,Natalie and Lauren
