H.K. - Day 3

Hmmm, what did we do today? It seems everyday starts off the same way. We wake up sit around for a little while, Bernie goes to work, Nic changes Lana, I put Lana in her high-chair, Nic gives Lana brekky while I get our breakfast ready. Then while we (Nic and I) eat our brekky Lana watches Bananas in Pajama's, we then join her as playschool starts....

Not that that isn't interesting, it's a routine and if you didn't have a routine or a schedule their home would be a literal MADHOUSE! And it's also good because every morning I know exactly what we have to do and how to do it!

So there isn't really much to tell about what happened this morning it was more what we did in the afternoon...

Well Nicole had to go to T.K.S (Tai Koo Shing - A place in H.K.) to exchange a game that she and Bernie had bought that had a broken piece inside it. We decided that we would also do a little bit of shopping together and spend a little bit of time with each other.

So Nic put Lana down for her nap, and when we 'thought' she was asleep we left. the. house.

We hopped in the taxi and told the man where to go, chatting all the way about different things...this and that.

We arrived quickly and efficiently, our first stop Mango! Not the Mango brand we know in Australia it was its own little shop. There were some...lets just call them interesting things but all in all it was a REALLY cute...I mean, 'adorable' shop.

Next stop...Toys 'R' us! We went in and found another of the same game, we took it to the 'exchange' counter and waited, and waited to be served. It wasn't that there was no people to help us it was more the fact the there were people literally standing in front of us at the desk not even ASKING if we needed anything!

Eventually a man came along and before our eyes he opened the new packet that we had just gotten off the shelf, OPENED it and retrieved a NON-broken piece for us. And with that we left the shop and went to H&M.

Thankfully for us there was a good sale on, but even with that we didn't buy much. I bought a headband and Nic bought two!

After our expedition throughout the entire H&M shop we made our way to Uni Ql0 (which is the Aussie equivalent to JayJays), really, the only good things are interesting tees and various belts, but still it was cool...just to clarify I'm not a huge fan of JayJays.

By now it was time for lunch, and I was given three options, which were really three DELICIOUS shops that stood side, by, side. I could have, Pacific Coffee, or, Haagen Dazs, or, Ruby Tuesdays.

I picked Haagen Dazs, because if you know what it was I'm pretty much POSITIVE that if you had the choice you'd pick that too. Haagen Dazs is a gourmet ice cream parlor, it is SO good!

After lunch we headed straight home as Nic was pretty sure that Lana would already be awake by this time. When we walked through the apartment door we found out that Lana was more than awake, she never went to sleep at all, after we left she got herself up, and Julie seeing that she just was not tired or going to go to sleep let her stay up till we came home.

So she was put safely in bed and now being very tired, she fell fast asleep. We thankfully had enough time to get ourselves ready for our play/pool date with one of Lana's cute little friends.

When she woke up we left almost straight away and we spent the afternoon splashing around, having a great time! As the girls tired it came time to go. We traded our we swimmers for dry clothes and undies!

As we arrived at the door of our apartment the wafting smells of dinner were already arousing our hungry tummies, dinner was delicious and, we spent the evening singing and reading the bible, it was a beautiful time of fellowship, that all should experience.
