Day 3 - Ocean Park

We have an early breakfast at the hotel at 8am+ - promotion free BF if stay more than 3 nights. Mom tried to feed me congee, biscuits, etc and I, again, refused to eat. I managed to eat 1 tube fruit yoghurt though. We went back to our room for bath, changed and out we go again! Where? Ocean Park (OP)!!

We took MTR train to Admiralty to the bus terminal. We purchased the OP admission tickets and boarded the bus directly. The entrance fees cost about HK$208 per person and child under 3 yrs old is FOC! hee! hee!

We reached there at 12:20pm and I was sleeping. Daddy tried to navigate where we are and I woke up. It has 2 entrances where we are up in the hill. The Ocean Park is huge and took 3 or 4 long escalators up to our 1st destination - to see Seals!!


We took a circular tower overlooking the park & the island.

Mummy was more excited than me to see those stunning marine creatures and took lotsa of pictures! It was also their 1st time visit in Ocean Park too.

- Stingray, turtle, the ever-changing colour jelly-fish

Me, on the foreground trying to touch the stingray....ouch!

There is even an exclusive jelly-fish aquarium and mummy shot more pictures. OMG! Mummy said the below 1st picture look like an alien - do u think so?

Took the cable down for another exciting adventure!

Showing off my dancing & posing style. Drank Qoo soya milk --- blur mum mistook was a barley water ;) And they rested for their lunch at a noodle kiosk.



"A" for ......Alligator! but I "bo chap" and walked-away.

I was more curious on panda bear instead. There are 2 huge panda...1 was hiding initially. When the panda moved, tourists moved too to have a clearer view of them. 1 panda as you see on the below 3rd picture, lying on the rock? She is actually peeing & pooing and the tourists yelled "aweeeee!!!". If you look closer, the green pooed is on the bottom left.


Otter ---- mummy can now differentiate between seal and otter as they do look alike. Otters are much smaller.

Pony ride - 1st ride on the wagon seat but mummy said no fun, so we took a 2nd ride on the horses. I was scared initially as I prefer to manual rock myself, not machine type.


The OP closed at 6pm and mum wanted to show me the real dolphins but too bad, the staff were cleaning and preparing to close for the show at 5:30pm. Hence I did not manage to see the it :(. Also we wanted to take the hot-air balloon and unfortunately, I was not allowed because of my age :((

The end of our visit to OP.

At the bus stop.

Dinner

Mummy missed the "char chang teng" - 桃 里 园 @ near Jordan MTR - a must-eating place for them as they think the soup is good (烈烫) and price is reasonable too. Even Caucasians eat there too. I was sleeping on the stroller while they were having dinner. And also not to be missed is mummy's favourite herbal 龟 苓 膏 - “gui lin gao” @百宝堂 shop just opposite. This 龟 苓 膏 "gui lin gao" is different from others as it really have a lot of herbal taste and mummy packed away another packet. By then, I woke up and daddy "ergo" me to MTR back to hotel at about 8pm+. The end of our day outing.
