OCEAN PARK SUNDAY

Today is beautiful and I believe it is 15degs,but when you are  out of the wind it is really lovely.

We decided to go to Hong Kong Island today and visit Ocean Park, I suppose the nearest thing at home is Sea World or Dreamworld on the coast.
We managed to catch two buses without incident, and then on the special bus to the park. As we are seniors and have our Hong Kong Identity passes and are seniors to boot, everything is half price so normally it cost $35aud to get into the park (as s.c we got in for free) I love Hong Kong.

The park has everything there including Panda Bears, Aligators, Birds and everything in between. The Aquariam was fantastic.
We took the cable car to the top of the mountain,where the amusement park is located but refrained from getting on any of the rides

The Rainforest was amazing so many plants and flowers.
From there we took the Ocean Express down from the mountain and it gave the effect that you were travelling on a submarine, great sound effects! and you could see the fish swimming above you.

We then strolled around until we found the coffee shop, (our Sunday morning treat)
We had a fantastic time,but as we have  Mass this arvo we decided we should make our way home and hope to make the right connections as some of the buses do not return the same route, but we got home without a hitch.It really is so cheap travelling on public transport here.



Here are some of the photos I took today



















This afternoon we are invited to the fillopino's Mass and there is a special  evening do afterwards, which we are invited to  if there is anything more to add I'll do it tomorrow
