Since we do not have agenda on hand for the day, we slept till almost 9am. Our 1st stop after we checked out was to have a tim sum breakfast. A check with the hotel recep & was told there was this Garden Restuarant, just round the corner of our hotel.
How do u see the price? Well, they have this indication of big, medium or small on the menu. If a food u order falls under the column of small, means that food will cost HKD$8.80, a medium one will cost HKD$12.80, a big one will cost HKD$15.80 & a special one will cost HKD$18.80
We then took the train to Causeway Bay, in a bid to try the tram ride, which my colleague told me was only SGD$0.50 per person. Ahem, base on the exchange rate we had, per ride was only SGD$0.30/adt & SGD$0.20/chd. Hahaha... (HKD$2.30 & HKD$1.20 respectively)Inside the tram was all wooden seats, practically like the buses here in Singapore during the 70s - early 80s. Most of the passengers were all elderly folks. Press the bell in advance if you wish to alight at the next stop. They have designated stops, unlike those mini city buses where all you have to do is inform the bus driver of ur wish to alight & they stopped for you there & then.
We travelled for a while & alighted at Quarry Bay Station where we took a train back to Causeway Bay. With nothing to do, we caught Cars 2 at the cinema. Movie tickets cost HKD$95/adt & HKD$80/chd. Yikes!!!
From our hotel, we took the shuttle bus to the Airport Express Station. We then purchased the grp tickets of HKD$220 for 2 adts & 2 children & was on our way. They have this In Town Check In facility where we cld do a proper check in & was issued boarding passes & have our baggages checked in all the way to our designated country. Cool! At least we do not have to drag our luggages with us onboard. I'm js worried will we see our luggage back in Singapore...A ride inside the AEL from town to airport.
At the airport, since we have ample time left, we went shopping & Daddy bought some snow skin mooncakes back for all our relatives. Now, the gate to board the plane was not straight-forward. We had to take the airport express to our gates, located at another terminal building, take a lift up to the indicated level, walked a long way to the boarding room, take another shuttle bus before we reached the plane. And there was no arrow-bridge, the bus stops u right outside the plane & u walk up the steps.
Realised becos this was a budget flight, so no arrow bridge provided as the plane do not have a designated lot to park. It was parked in the middle of nowhere - close to the runway.
Bye Bye Hongkong!!.... 10 years down the road, we might see each other again. :)
