DAY THREE - SHOPPING

The lovely Cosmopolitan Hotel
We moved hotels on Saturday, closer to where all the action happens. It was really really difficult to find accomodation where we could all be in the same room. They just don't cater for families with more than one child much in HK. Anyway, the one I chose was across the road from the famous Happy Valley Racecourse, so Phil could go to the races on our last night. After we had checked in, we caught a taxi to Times Square then later to Mong Kok and had a look around and did some shopping. To say it was busy is understated. Four hours later and we were all over it.

We walked to Times Square alot as it was only a 10 minute walk away
I was amazed at the tv's everywhere
The VANS shoes the girls so desperately wanted
Taxis were a cheap option for us getting around
The view from the hotel room
Ella and I walked to McDonalds that night, Phil and Kate stayed back and ordered room service
The girls all ready for bed!

Day One & Two - DISNEYLAND

The girls' had been waiting a very long time to go to Disneyland. They were very excited when we arrived. It rained on and off the first day and the second was heavy rain, thunder and lightning. But the blessing was, the crowds were down so the queues were short. The girls' never complained about the rain, they were just so happy to be there.

On the bus from the hotel to Disneyland
Yay! We are finally here!
I thought the statues were really cool
Waiting for the gates to open
Walking down main Street, the crowds were down.
Sleeping Beauty and the Prince arrive
First purchases of the day
Riding the beautiful carousel
Umbrellas were a must!
Riding on Dumbo
The girls were lucky to get one ride on each attraction in Toy Storyland as the weather meant there wasn't another opportunity
The R C Racer was a huge hit!
I loved "It's a small World" My kind of ride!
Lining up for a photo with Minnie was the longest queue - 5 minutes!!!
The ONE Ella had been desperate to have a photo with
On to Pluto!
And then Pinocchio
Tarzans House was a favourite
Due to the weather, the parade was the rainy day express train
Love this photo of my beautiful girl
Ella loved shopping for Mickey Mouse goodies!
The beautiful castle
