The Cube

We got the 1 day ticket + Early Park Entry + Premier Access (3 attractions). Tickets were purchased from Klook for adults. Senior and kids tickets were from official website. Not sponsored unfortunately. 

As we got the early park entry tickets, we needed to find a breakfast location that opens early enough and found Chung Kee Congee 忠記粥品 near the hotel. We bought buns which we thought could be lunch but everybody was still hungry after eating the buns so we had lunch and dinner was in Disneyland. 

At the time of our visit, World of Frozen had just opened. I initially thought that we needed the early park entry to get to World of Frozen but I was wrong. It turned out a good idea to get an early park entry and got to World of Frozen first as it got really busy when we left. The ticket allows one to choose 3 attractions out of the 5 below:

We utilised the premier access for the mine cars, mystic manor and "it's a small world". The queue for the mine cars were the longest at the time of our visit. We still missed the timing for the Disneyland Railroad. It was the kids' first time to Disneyland but all adults had a prior visit and we all missed the Disneyland Railroad during our first visit. We went to Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! twice. It was short but we had fun shooting. Our aim was the rides and didn't queue up for any of the characters.

The parade was quite disappointing though. I had memory that they were much longer but this round when it ended, we were left with the feeling of "is that all?"

The hotel we booked is located in between North Point and Fortress Hill MTR stations, a little closer to Fortress Hill MTR station. By the time we got to the hotel and checked in, we didn't feel like going too far away and felt a little hungry. So we decided it was time for an early dinner and noticed that Sister Wah Beef Brisket (華姐清湯腩) wasn't too far away. We ordered 5 bowl of noodles and add-on of turnip. The kids shared 1 bowl of noodles. Total cost HKD 355.

After dinner, we crossed Victoria Park towards Causeway Bay area. There wasn't any particular place that we wanted to go so we just randomly walked around. Then we saw a street vendor selling roasted chestnuts so we bought a packet. Even though we just had dinner, followed by chestnuts, we still wanted desserts. We saw one nearby but we kept on turning into a wrong street so we gave up and walked back towards the hotel's direction. 

This place 養生糊 甜品專門店 showed up on Google with rating of above 4 stars so we made a stop there. If I remember correctly, from top left, in clockwise - peach gum snow fungus, taro sago with coconut milk, mulberry lotus egg and dried beancurd barley egg. Total cost: HKD 92. 

I was back in Malaysia for 3 weeks which means opportunities for more affordable flight tickets and shorter flight times to more countries, especially the ones in Asia. This round of travel consisted of 4 adults and 2 kids - sis, bro in law, 2 kids and my mother. This was my 4th visit to HK.

The itinerary was simple, we only planned for one site visit a day and just googled for food with ratings of about 4.2 or above. There were some hits and some misses but not too bad really. Both accommodations were pretty good too. 

On arrival, we ordered Uber for 6 pax and we had 4 cabin sized luggage and 1 backpack. 

Esperance is a town on the Southern Ocean coastline in Western Australia. It is approximately 720 km from the state capital, Perth and is famous for its pristine sandy stretches and turquoise waters. 

After a few failed attempts, I had finally made it to camping with sis and family in Western Australia. The initial plan was a 5 days trip with last day detouring to Bremer Bay for a night. Despite this trip was taken in December, it was windy and rather chilly so we decided not to stop at another beach. 

On day 1, we made a quick stop at Corrigin and Hyden before spending the night at Ravensthorpe. The rest of the nights were at Esperance.
