20. Filled my stomach with good food before leaving Hong Kong.



It was both fun and another tiring experience to come back in Hong Kong. When I first went last 2010, it was winter time and Chinese New Year. Coming back last July was a different one. It was Summer, so humid that we didn't get to enjoy our day in Disneyland. I think we enjoyed window shopping more because of the great mark down sale most of the shops offer.

2010 Hong Kong Trip | Day 2: Red Ant, Avenue of Stars, Star Ferry, Golden Bauhinia

Breakfast was not included in our hostel booking so we went to the other side of the road to grab breakfast.


We saw Red Ant resto and we walked in. There were a lot of locals flocking. It must be good, we thought. True enough, we enjoyed the breakfast meal that comes with hot tea plus the price is so affordable.


See affordable breakfast at Nathan Road.


Walk towards the  MTR and passed by Langham Place. And did not visit H&M. Oh well, shopping was not our priority that time. 


Got to Tsim Sha Tsui and we walked towards Avenue of Stars. 


Passing by the clock tower


The promenade 



Then Avenue of Stars


We walked back and took Star Ferry to cross Hong Kong Island.



And wished we had pet dogs.


And we even chanced upon them. Cute!


Not sure where to go next


And not sure how we got here 


All I could remember was we mistakenly took a bus that's going to a terminal. A local helped us find the right bus going to Central.


And we got off here.
