Hong Kong Day 2 - Ocean Park, The Peak & Drinks!
Before heading off to Ocean Park, we headed to this famous breakfast place at Jordon Station. Had yummy scrambled eggs set with milk tea. You can find more information here on how to get there.
We gave Disneyland a miss as my girl friend and myself have been to a one in another country. We headed to their local theme park instead, Ocean Park. Their theme park was split into 2 portions. What I really enjoyed best was the long cable car ride. It was really beautiful as we can over see into the long horizon of the small island and ocean around Hong Kong. The rides are average and to me, I think it can be improved a lot more.
We left Ocean Park pretty early after we were bored and headed to "The Peak". Wanted to take the Tram up but the queue was so bloody long! One and a half hours!! After a whole day of queue-ing, I am pretty sick of queue-ing already.
Beware of taxi drivers that are out of their cabs, wanting to fetch people up. We tried asking one guy and he charged us almost $30 Singapore Dollars! We were taken aback when we know how cheap taxi are in Hong Kong. So I asked my friend who went up before how long he took by bus, he told me about 15 mins! 15 mins will only be about $15 Singapore Dollars actually. So we ignored him and went to the other side where a lot of people are alighting. Grabbed a cab who is willingly to bring us up to the Peak and the price was half of what the crazy driver offered.
We also had an awesomely hard time coming down the peak. The bus queue, taxi and tram queue were all so long! We tried to get a taxi but it was almost impossible, so we've decided to take the bus down as they have fixed timing which is pretty frequent.
We met up with one of my Hong Kong friends for a drink after that. He brought us to a place at TST called 諾士佛臺 （Knutsford Terrace）. That whole area is a drinking lane hidden in a corner of TST and it's pretty cool.
