Hong Kong!

Whst an amazing city! But it is so hot!! 33deg most days. We arrived on Sunday morning and checked straight into our hotel. After breakfast we had a rest before we let the boys loose in the swimming pool. The water was warm and refreshing. After lunch (there was a subway next door) we went to Kowloon trsin station and went up the fast lift (100 floors in 30 seconds) for amazing 360 deg views of HK. It was a clear day with visibility of 18000 metres. After we had a quick look around the new elements mall. It is full of designer flagship stores. You name it, it was there! Jimmy choo too!! On Monday we went out to Tung Chung to get the cable car up to the giant budda. Due yo weather the cable car was closed so after another subway lunch we checked out the outlet mall. Unfortunately for me everything thing is for the Asian body so I enjoyed a sorbet instead. We went back to the hotel for another swim and then went to get dinner at Ruby Tuesdays restaurant in city plaza. We got off at Sai wan ho instead if taikoo and had to walk back. Luckily we knew our way around.  Yesterday was the all important day for the boys. Disneyland! It was still hot but armed with novelty water spraying fans they survived. The park was busy but we still got a few rides in. The new mystic point was fabulous but had Jordan crying in fear before it started and during but he emerged the mighty warrior and wouldn't stop talking about it. Taylor and I did the grizzly grouch (?) ride as singles. (That line was quicker) I ended up in the front sit but I too survived. Yes I would do they one again. We did the river ride and mickeys 3d show. Taylor and Craig did space mountain while Jordan and I headed for buzz light year. No queues but Jordan chickened out st the last possible moment. We all did the a autopia car ride (I'm not teaching Taylor how to drive!) after dinner the boys were tired and barely walking so we skipped  the fireworks and headed home. Today we had a sleep in, swim and a late checkout. We are now headed for the airport and Rome !
