Hong Kong Day 1

What a day!  It started with a tour that took us to the tram for Victoria's Peak.

 This is the view from Victoria's Peak.  It's amazing.....you're almost as tall as the skyline.



 This is the building on top of the peak....any guesses what it is supposed to represent?
A rice bowl!
 This was our guide Ricky....."not to be confused with Ricky Martin" he informed us. 
 Next we went to Stanley's Market where we filled our bags with souvenirs.  Nothing like bartering in Hong Kong!
 Next we went on a "Sam Pam" boat ride around the fishing harbor.


 After the tour, Ricky dropped us off at Ocean Park, where there was a very cool alligator habitat.
 This one is actually real.  Look at him looking at Ryan......
"Mmmmm.........dinner".
 This is the cable car ride taking us from the lower park to the higher park.  It is so lush and green there.
 Paul, Chloe, and Ryan went on a rapids ride, and got pretty wet.
 Callista enjoyed posing on every statue she could find.
 This is "LeLe".  She is beautiful.  Needless to say.....we now own two stuffed animal pandas by the name of "LeLe".  The habitat was amazing.  I could have sat in there all day enjoying the sound of the waterfall and watching the pandas.


It was an exhausting day, but the kids' were troopers.  Tonight at dinner we will tell them our surprise for tomorrow.......Disneyland Hong Kong!
