HK Trip 2011: Day 1

11 December 2011

We arrived at Changi Airport at around 7am to check-in, and hopefully a kind ground staff could allocate a bassinet seat to us.  However, it was a fat hope and we had to stick to our original seats, but they were good because we were near the toilets. 

To our surprise, we saw Angry Birds and some other exhibitions.  We hardly had time for breakfast and quickly took a few shots before finding a good spot to sit down.





After a quick breakfast, we headed to the departure gate.  It was my first time on an A380 plane, and somehow, it had felt more comfortable.  For this time round, we had chosen to take a SIA flight because after comparison with Cathay, the former turned out more affordable.  It was a pleasant flight, but we reached HK later than the estimated time.  We were probably lucky that Isabelle did not fuss much during the flight, and Ian was kept busy by the cartoons on the flight entertainment system and the tidbits that we had bought for him.

We took a cab to the hotel and it was cheaper than we had thought, less than HKD150.  The check-in queue was rather long and I had to wait for Hubby to do the check-in, while keeping an eye on the luggages and Ian, who was running around the lobby.  I had not expected the Disneyland Hotel lobby to be that crowded.





After settling down our luggages in the hotel room, packing our diaper bag, we set off to Tung Chung at 3.30pm, to the Citygate Malls.  We had missed this place during our last trip due to lack of time, and this time round, we made it our first place to go because of the close proximity to the hotel and our lack of time.  However, it was quite disappointing, because there was nothing that we wanted to buy from there. 

At about 6pm, we had to rush back to the hotel again, for a dinner appointment with my long-time pal, Annie and her family.  When we reached the Crystal Lotus restaurant, they had already arrived.  It was a joy to see her lovely daughter for the first time in person.
