Hong Kong with Kids - Ocean Park

Day 3

It's Ocean Park today, we woke up bright and early and took their bus service down to Hong Kong Central. Then we proceed to Admiralty MTR station, take Exit B, there we buy the Tickets to Ocean Park, the ticket cost us HK$350/adult and HK$250/child and Baby FAN (below 3) was free.  Then we just hopped on their special CityBus No. 629 (HK$10.60/adult, $5.30/child below 4) to Ocean Park.  It was a nice an pleasant ride and their is a Mobile TV on the bus and it's air-conditioned.

Here's basically our itinerary at Ocean Park:

We skip the Adventure Land as all the ride seems too scary for the kids, so we decided to just take the escalator down.  This is the steepest escalotor ride.

After atiring day at Ocean Park, we then took Bus 629 and head back to our apartment for a nice rest.  Didn't thought we will go out at night, but we ended up taking the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade with some of our friends in Hong Kong.  The night view was really nice and very peaceful there although it actually quite crowded and lots of people there.  As it's a last minute decision, I did not bring my camera, so I took some pictures with my LGphone instead, the turn out was "as expected' not very clear...a real pity.
