Hong Kong Trip - Day 3 - Lantau Island

Dear YY

After the funfilled day in disneyland the day before, you asked me early in the morning, "What show are we watching today?". We replied you "The Da Fo Show" (ie Big Buddha Show). You were so happy when our MTR passed by Sunnybay again. Too bad this time round we were alighting at the final stop for our cable car ride to the Big Buddha at Lantau Island. It was a refreshing ride up the mountains in the cable car. The view was great and you and NN had fun entertaining us with your Singapore Songs in the cable car. I was so proud that you managed to climb all the steps up to the Big Buddha statue on top. We counted the steps together. A total of 16 flights x 14 steps right? You also managed to climb down all by yourself. Well done, my boy!

The cable car ride back was quite scary as it was starting to turn foggy and the wind was quite strong. Mummy was real glad when our cable car reached the station.

Our next stop was to the Tsing Ma Suspended Bridge
It was already late in the afternoon and no bus was going that way. We took cabs there and you and NN enjoyed taking photos with the statues at the garden.

We were nearly stranded there as it was getting late and there was no public transport anymore. It was a lucky thing we managed to flag down a taxi and the kind hearted taxi driver let all 7 of us squeezed in his car and ferried us back to the nearest Tsing Yi MTR station.



Hugs & Kisses
