Family holiday in Hong Kong. We deliberately chose Hong Kong as this was supposed to be XY's first trip overseas. Unfortunately she fell sick and YeeYee had to take the difficult decision to pull out at the last moment.
We spend the morning and early afternoon travelling on Cathay to Hong Kong. It was uneventful and we reached the hotel around mid-afternoon. We are staying at the Disney Explorer Lodge till Wednesday then switch to one in the city.
The hotel entrance was pretty grand with a huge tree. Everything is decked out in Disney motif which gives you the sense of immersion. The view from the hotel room is pretty scenic.
Today's a lazy day so we went around to explore the hotel. We didn't bring swimming attire so the kids couldn't swim. Thankfully there was a cart park where they could ride and burn off some energy before dinner.
There are a few restaurants at the hotel but the kids were tired so we decided to order room service. The one shocking revelation for me was the price of food at all the restaurants. Each plate cost an average HKD240 which is about SGD50. So a meal for 5 cost around SGD250 .... so if you add up breakfast lunch and dinner. That's close to SGD800 a day just for simple microwave food. Crazy. But that said, the kids are having a great time.
