We JUST got back home after leaving at 9am this morning. What a long day! But it was perfect. The weather was great, sunny and warm with a cool breeze and the kids got tired in the end but they really were troopers.

We took the 9:30 ferry from DB to Central. We were pulling into the ferry terminal area. We were THERE. And D barfed everywhere. Couldn't handle the sea sickness. ! I knew he was feeling rough but, oh man, we were like 2 seconds from getting off the boat. Ah well. He was fine on the way home and that was even a choppier ride. Go figure. So hopefully it was just the shock of a boat ride. Poor kid. So he made his grand entrance into Hong Kong wearing a Pull Up. Cool.

Sat him down on a park bench, gave him a granola bar and some water and he snapped right back. So we decided to press on with our day. It really was so funny. I will never forget that!

So first thing on the agenda was finding him a new outfit. To the mall! Which thankfully is always only a 2 minute walk in any direction you choose to walk. The main problem was that it was 10am on a Saturday morning. Were any stores even going to be open? All stores and markets open later in the morning and stay open until way later at night that what we have going on in the US. We were in luck and went directly to a store called Zara which has adult and children's clothing at fairly reasonable prices. Picked up some light weight khaki pants and a little short sleeve button up shirt. D was carried into the bathroom sporting a pull up and smelling a little like vomit, he walked out looking like a frat boy wearing his sun shades. Our day was off to an awesome start.

So we headed back down to catch the bus and head up to the Hong Kong Zoo and Botanical Gardens. It was about a half hour bus ride which was longer than we expected but I always forget to take the traffic into account. The park was nice. To call it a zoo is definitely a stretch but we knew that going in so it was just as we thought. Great playground! Kids had a blast and did great on the commute home where they were rewarded with McDonalds complete with ice cream cones.

It was a great day. Minus the puke part. But really that part was so comical and makes for such a good story that it was totally worth it.
