H.K. - Day 2

Well it's my second day in Hong Kong and it already feels like I've been here for a while...

Today we had a lazy day we sat, and talked, and read, and blogged. So when it ca,e to breakfast time we were totally ready for it.

Lana played for a bit then headed down for a nap, Nic went out and so did Julie leaving me home...A-L-O-N-E...WITH the sleeping 'beauty'.

When they came back it was time for lunch, there wasn't much to eat at home so we decided to go sown to Pacific Coffee for some lunch. Nicole and Lana shared two quiches while I had some yummy beef lasagne.

Once we had eaten our lunch we didn't really have time to go back to the apartment as we were going to meet up with Lana's friends again today.

We lounged around on the velvet couches for a little while longer, but soon we were leaving the coziness of Pacific coffee to the craziness of the Hong Kong streets, where we made our way to the middle of the road to wait for the cab that we were sharing with Lana's friend and her mum.

As it drove up we hopped in quickly and shut the doors just in time for the cab driver to swerve his way expertly back into the traffic.

Soon we were at the building where the kids were having the play-date...at Aunty V's house! The children were more than happy to get out all of their toys and make the most impossible mess! I think I can almost say that there were more toys here than at the toy library!

But yet again the kids had a ball, while the adults sat and watched them, smiling with glee. The hours and minutes passed by quickly, and as each minute drew closer to when we would leave a little bit more agitated the children became.

When they reached their limit the parents decided that it was time to go. In a frenzy of hugs and kisses, we made our way to the door, said good -bye and off we went bound for home once more.

The afternoon was just as lazy as the morning, we sat, and talked, and read, and blogged. After dinner instead of a nap into the bath she went (Lana that is). While she played with her toys and splashed all around Nicole and Bernie, got ready her for bed.

As she silently slept, we watched a movie (The Princess and the Frog) while stuffing our face with all kinds of yummy things. It was ok, but personally I didn't really like the voo-doo and crazy magic stuff it freaked me out a bit.

When it finished we sat for a little while longer then we 'hit the sack' hopefully all sleeping soundly and dreaming happy dreams.
