Hong Kong Airport and Disneyland

We headed out to stay at the Regal Airport hotel for a night which was fantastic. The hong kong airport has 140,000 people go through its doors daily and the place is an attraction in itself. They've got an aviation discovery centre thats fantastic for kids and adults, very educational and interactive, as well as a massive shopping centre, dozens of fine restaurants and bars, a cinema and more. The following day we head to Hong Kong Disneyland and it was every bit as magical as you'd expect Disneyland to be. Its hard not to get caught up in the fantasy of songs, characters and childhood memories. Careful you are likely to break into a chorus of M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E at any stage during the day. The stage shows and parades were fantastic, the 4D movie and space mountain definetely or pick of the rides. We stayed at Hollywood disney for our full dose of disney mania with everything from the slippers to shampoo bottles bearing the famous mouse ears. We head off the next day to catch the train direct from Hong Kong to Beijing, China. www.byokids.com.au ...your family travel gurus

Hong Kong Island and Kowloon

We jumped aboard a ferry to Hong Kong from Macau. After going through our third lot of customs in 4 days we are getting pretty efficient at the whole process. We arrive into Hong Kong and pile onto the city tram with our backpacks and find our hotel. We spend the next few days taking in the sights of Hong kong theres heaps here for families, the zoo and botanical gardens are great. We take the peak tram, a cruise on the harbour to see the symphony of lights (a light show to music that many of hong kong's city buildings take part in). We've checked out Lantau Island and are off to disneyland tomorrow before heading into China. We know we are in Asia now as we' ve been ripped off by a taxi driver, charged double in a restaurant and are now in the land of sqaut toilets... but thats what its all about, different experiences and its all good. www.byokids.com.au ...your family travel gurus
