The Hong Kong we have just discovered

The Kongs on their first HK trip together

So, holidaying in Hong Kong has always meant one of a few activities for us. Mainly, its been shopping and meeting relatives (if any!).

For instance, we made a special trip to HK in 2003 just to buy 'equipment' for our wedding. It was well worth the trip as the same would have cost a little more here in KL, minus the quality and choice we were looking for. Its just more fun to shop in HK.

This time around we basically ditched any idea of buying anything that involved walking or looking for more than 30 mins. We tried to avoid busy streets and didn't even dare think of any activities past our fella's bedtime (which is 7!! what a life...).

checking out the museums

So what did we do?

We went to the Museum of Art, after discovering JW's interest in Chinese brush paintings. Then we went to the Museum of History, and had a good stroll around while JW had his afternoon nap. Nothing loud, nothing involving narrow streets, or bargaining or dodging crowds.

Stars on the Avenue - Uncle S, Auntie WW, Cousins A&M, Mr Kong & JW

We managed a lovely walk, as suggested by cousin WW, along the Avenue of the Stars.

And to our surprise, we loved it! Did not buy a single cheesy item from the markets (only clothes for JW oh and some nice cheap jeans for mummy), and totally loved the experience.



So, travelling with baby may not be the easiest and might even disqualify a holiday from being categorised as a 'holiday', but we would never dream of leaving JW at home!
