7 days & 7 nights in HK and Macau

We arrived at night and checked in to our rooms Ah Shan Hostel @ Sincere House. The rooms were not what we expected and were separated, reunited on 2nd day, but the service was polite. Only disappointment was 3rd day when the lady Boss threaten to charge for the triple room if we didn't switch a 2nd time. Anyway, the authorities came and proclaim double deckers illegal and had them dismantled on 4th day.

Travelling makes people hungry. Pre-order your AirAsia meals, double portions, if you're prone 2 hunger. The warm meals were sold out before the 15th row on the 4 hour flight.

Over the 5 days in Hong Kong, we visited Temple Street, Ap Liu Street, Fa Yuen Street, Sai Yeong Choi Street, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Po Lin Monastery, Giant Buddha and rode cable car to Ngong Ping, Avenue of Stars, had dinner at Jumbo Kingdom.

Buy your tickets for Cable Car and probably Ocean Park, Disneyland to avoid the long queues. We spent 2 hours in the Ngong Ping queue. And 2 hrs on way back, 5pm. Go after lunch, stay over night, return after lunch to catch sun rise and avoid crowds.

The 2 days in Macau, we went to Largo de Senado and St Paul's ruins. Along the way, we spent most of what we have on Almond cookies, food and none in the casinos. The Guinness Stouts are a steal. Instant noodles tasted great, just not their dry ones.

Love instant noodles for supper.

Popo was a champ, climbed 250 steps up to Tian Tan, to see Giant Sitting Buddha. For Popo, we should request assistance/wheelchair. While on streets, to get a shopping trolley with seat. Dual use, seat and shopping cart ;)

Ning's a champ too, bringing laughter to all and being mostly fuss-free.
