Hong Kong!!

On Monday 17th May, we flew to Hong Kong and moved into the Grand Hyatt. It is a large, luxurious hotel and we are very thrilled with our room and the facilities. We even have a private yacht at our disposal!!!
Here is a photo of the foyer. It is very large so the photo only captures a small part.


Poor light, but here is one of the several water features in the foyer.

Our wonderful room. It feels like a mansion after the tiny place we stayed in last week. There is plenty of room to move around and a corner for the toys so the kids can play again.

This corner is exciting as it has a big fridge in it. We have been surviving with tiny mini bar fridges but this one has 2 shelves!!

The desk where i can use the computer. It is great because it is away from the kids so they can sleep and I can be in my own little corner without disturbing them.

The bathroom is pretty cool. It is very spacious with lots of fancy fittings.

Finally the kids can have a bath again.

The playground at the hotel. We couldnt believe our eyes when we saw this. Poor Hailey and Ben have been so cooped up in hotels and now they can run and play as much as they want! It is a huge area.

Down here, there is also 2 swimming pools, several gym rooms, a running track, tennis/squash courts and a golf driving range.

Hailey and Ben are very happy children with all this to play on!

The view from our room. Its lovely being able to see so far and its peaceful watching all the boats.

And at night.

A local street with a tram and housing. Its quite amazing the density of housing. There are many tall unit blocks everywhere and they are very close together.

A local street showing more housing.

A local wet market. It has fruit/veges and meat/fish. Very interesting. The fish and seafood are all alive!

We really stand out. It's a population of 90% Chinese here and Ben with his blonde hair gets alot of looks! Also, it seems no one uses a pram here. Everyone carries their children. They must be very strong.
