Hong Kong & Singapore | July 2014 | Part 1

We had a great holiday this July, visiting Hong Kong and Singapore!  We only had a week, but we managed to squeeze in a lot of fun and excitement, and are already counting down to our next family trip.

Here are the girls enjoying the Airport Express train upon arrival into Hong Kong...  This was after a 6 hour transit in Singapore, and an overnight flight into Hong Kong... Such little troopers...

First up for our week in Hong Kong was to meet up with long-time friends, Maelle and Jihae who have been living it up in Hong Kong!

And where better to meet than at PMQ with the 1600 Panda's exhibition.  Claire's been practicing her photography skills as you can see.  All the Panda's are care of Claire...

Another photo by Claire...

Keira and Maelle quickly became the best of friends all over again...

Other than a lot of wondering around the town, we managed to get out to the Space Museum...

The kids met their own kind...

 We also spent a bunch of time with Maelle and Maxime at their place...

Though we have just realised that we missed out on getting a photo of the young man (Maxime) himself.

So happy!

All that excitement meant very tired girls... Here they are enjoying a quite break at Starbucks.

Daddy's beautiful girl...

Dinner at a local restaurant meant just another opportunity for daddy and mummy to admire their girls...

And finally a photo of mum & dad together!

One of the highlights of Causeway Bay for the girls was the nights... many of the streets are closed to cars, allowing shoppers to wonder freely, and for little girls to dance in the middle of the road (as you do!

 Claire with her favourite shop... And the girls playing in the blue light next to the hotel..

The three girls at the Heritage...

 In a cafe...

And on a bus!  

This is some kind of before and after!

We tried to enjoy all the options available for getting around Hong Kong... We tried the train, the MTR, taxi's, bus and the Tram... We made sure we took the Peak Tram for a ride too!

 The girls were impressed by the height and the views from the Peak...

 Lovely girls...

 Another great thing about Hong Kong was the egg tarts!

We were a long way from home...

The girls had a go at modelling...

There was even a Mr & Little Miss art exhibition...  And they happened to feature the girls favourite faces... Mr Happy (Keira) and Little Miss Sunshine (Claire)....

And the real Mr Happy of the day...

Along with the Little Miss Sunshine's....

And before we end this post... We almost forgot the Star Ferry... the last of the many transport options we enjoyed...
