This is the day to continue our shopping from where we have left off on Tuesday :P
This way, we will have enough time to pack the stuff into our bursting luggage on the last night of our trip...



Dorsett's Seaview


A walk around the neighbourhood before our shopping spree!
Check out the market areas!
Back from Mongkok Shopping spree and it's time for our dinner!
Back again to the retro cha chan ting, Mido Cafe and we found out that the cool uncle is a chef there... The aunties were so excited! haha


Their neon signboards!

The upper floor :)

Good food and good company! ;)

Proceeded to Central to visit The Peak!
We actually managed to see the Symphony of lights for the second time in Central itself!
The buildings were lighted up and it's beautiful ;p

Us on Bus 23!

Ah Ju and I on the way to The Peak!

Take this 45 degrees slanted tram up the hill...
Really an experience cuz the tram is really about 45 degrees, very very steep!
Was having a slight headache after that, not very comfortable...
And the thing is, when we took the tram down, it went backwards...
That's cuz they only had one railway and one tram...

This place was fantastic cuz it was so cooling...
Probably like Genting (I haven't been there) but that's what they said :P
An outdoor airconditioned space! You can see that it's abit misty misty right?
I love the feeling up there!

The cafe behind has really nice ambience... romantic!

Pardon us, we missed our families, had to send them a letter each

View of Hong Kong behind us!


There!

We took up a job when we were there...
Yeah, we helped out the tabloids there and became paparazzi for a day...
This is tico ju's shot of our targets...
They were hugging non-stop, blocking our view so we decided to let them appear on the next day's tabloid papers...
They loved it...

At the tram station and waiting to catch the tram
We need to rush our paparazzi article, remember?


We wanted to use the money we earn from the article to get something from here...

No minibus rides for us this time :(
How to shout out to the bus driver when it's time for me to alight when I don't know Cantonese?
Lucky us had a great open top bus ride back!
Fun!

After alighting, we found out that we took the wrong bus and landed in Japan instead! *gasp*

Let's have a bowl of ramen first before going back to HK...


After the Ramen, we took a helicopter back to HK and it landed in Lan Kwai Fong...
The ang mohs were amazed at the sight of our helicopter :P

Taking the Star Ferry back to TST and resting our tired feet!

We met another uncle on the ferry and he helped us take this pic *shy*

A group shot, then a pair shot...
Next, it's the individual shots

I know I looked stupid but well...
How many times can you look stupid in HK?

"The ferry is reaching the shores, haiz... When can I see the uncle again? Maybe we should take a pic with him and hopefully we can meet him again"

"All the aunties agreed, macho uncle agreed too!" *blush* "I'm happy again!"

to be continued...
