Yup..just typed this thing up and was almost done and I somehow got rid of it all so here I go again...oh boy!
Cori and Rebecca were up super early again so we got up to run. We ran on the Avenue of the Stars, which was along the water. This is where there are handprints and stars. As we were running, these two ladies waved us down with their cameras. We thought they wanted us to take a picture with them but Nope! They wanted a picture WITH us! We thought this was hilarious! We ran our 30 minutes. It was soooo hot!
We came back and showered. Meredith and Rebecca went to get Dim Sum but Cori and I weren't that hungry so we went to Starbucks. We both got a chocolate danish which was a chocolate croissant. I also got some prawn crackers which were interesting and surprisingly good but boy did they stink!
We ate back in the room and headed out to go to Victoria Peak. We took the subway and then had to walk some. We took a tram up this really steep hill.
At the top, we went to this lookout. It was pretty.
There was also this wishing heart where you write your love wish on a heart and hang it up.
Then we went to Jungle Juice and got smoothies. They were DISGUSTING! I got the chocolate monkey and it tasted like chalk. Bleh!
Then we walked around and I went into New York Fries. I got fries with cheese sauce, bacon and sour cream. Yum! Much better!
We walked around and shopped some.
Then we took the train down (you had to ride backwards down the steep hill). We stopped at the room really quickly then we headed out shopping. We stopped first at the Jade Market. I got one of the lions like what is outside of the Great Movie Ride and a black necklace. Then we went to the Ladies Market. I was looking for an umbrella like the ones we had seen the day before at Disney. But I couldn't find any. My feet hurt so bad and I had a sharp pain in my leg. I hoped I didn't do anything to it.
We stopped back at the hotel room for about a 30 minute break. Earlier in the day I had noticed this sign back by a wall that said "Tropical Cyclone Signal No 1 is hoisted" but I just thought it was back there for storage. But nope. When we stopped back by the hotel, we saw this sign posted on a main board.
Yup! A tropical cyclone was headed our way! We hadn't even heard about it coming at all!
We headed to the iSquare shopping mall across the street to look for an umbrella and to eat dinner. We found one that was a little like one I wanted but it was $30 USD and wasn't perfect so I didn't get it. We decided to eat at toi.
They had rice pizzas where the rice was baked to make the crust. It sounded great in theory. I got the Tempura Ebi with Thousand Island Sauce Pizza.
I saw in the picture that there were red and green peppers so I asked them to leave them out. Yeah, not only did they leave them on, but they added wasabi sauce. This wasn't in the picture or title (the other pizzas had them in the title so I thought I was safe). I couldn't eat much of it. The cheese on the rice was good though.
Rebecca's came with these good shots and a dessert.
Cori's pizza was crazy though. She's super picky but there was a chicken teriyaki one, which she likes, so she got it. They brought it out and there were these thin, cripsy pieces moving. They were seriously waving back and forth, curling and uncurling. They really looked like they were moving. We tasted it. Meredith thought it tasted like bacon and I thought it tasted like smoked ham. Cori surprisingly tasted it (she hates bacon and considers any food with bacon in it contaminated). She decided her whole pizza was contaminated. We asked what it was and the waiter said fish. We were shocked that there would be fish on a chicken pizza with no warning. What if someone was allergic to seafood? (And somehow in this craziness, no one got a picture!!) Cori got mad and went off to get other food.
We left to go see the light show, the Symphony of the Lights on the water of the Avenue of the Stars. But Tropical Cyclone Doksuki was in full effect. We stepped outside and there were HUGE gusts of win. We could hardly walk. I've been in plenty of tropical storms here in Florida and I never remember the wind being that bad. We headed over to the Avenue of the Stars and it started to rain. It was really crowded. We could see the lights on the buildings moving but there was no sound. Turns out the show was cancelled due to the weather. It was really windy so we headed home.
As of 10:50pm, we were worried about flying out the next day. There were postings about the storm and we got a notice under our door that a Typhoon Signal 8 was going to be posted overnight. Hopefully we would fly out to Tokyo the next day! (and this was our 2nd natural disaster of the trip!)
Coming up...do we make it out to Tokyo or does Doksuki keep us in Hong Kong?
PIO was lucky getting to go on it! I hope after all this maintenance this year it will be ready to go for me next March
I'll be able to get 15% off accommodation with my AP, but of course only for HK. DH and I think that if you're an AP holder at one park, you should be able to get some sort of perks at other parks too, like maybe a discount on park entry at Paris...
Then we took the bus over to the Disneyland Hotel. I wanted to see the hotel and plus, I wanted to see what they had for their weddings there (turns out I didn't find anything). We took a bunch of pictures.
