Thirdy

So, it is Sunday and the third day of our stay in HK. The weather is still the same during day 1. I am dying to see the sun. As usual, I am the last person to get out from bed. I was amazed by the guesthouse's shower because it can release cold or hot water. You need to adjust the dials to make it lukewarm as I prefer it. Anyways, we had our light breakfast in our guesthouse room only. Bread was served that we have bought last night at 7-Eleven.

MTR Train

Our first stop was to hear mass at the neighboring island of TST which is Central. It is an amazing engineering that MTR is also underwater. But during the ride, you can't see any water because the tunnel was constructed as concrete. We arrived and we need to walk for about 5-10 minutes before we reach the church. We need to go to St. Joseph's Parish Church. As we arrived, the mass has already started but we are not that late for the gospel and homily. The church is amazing because it is one of the places that Filipino OFW's could meet and interact with their co-Filipino.

So, we need to walk back again to where the MTR is.

Admiralty is the next stop to where the real adventure would start

It is less than a 5 minute ride from Central to Admiralty. It is where we will ride a bus going to Ocean Park.

The place seems new to us but the tall buildings of Admiralty made the ride more enjoying. The ride took utmost 10-15 minutes. Tada! We arrived at Ocean Park. I am feeling excited.

The shutter of my DSLR is starting its job and we need to treasure every moment and spot in the place.

While having our breakfast, I just can feel that I am steps away from the adventure. As I look up from the table where we eat, I can see cable cars. They look so amazing. How much more if we ride in it? We are done eating and its time to ride that hanging object. We need to queue for our turn and for you to know, the cable car does not stop moving. It's moving slowly and we need to be fast to fit in ourselves in the mini vehicle. We are all in and we move. I was nervous during the ride because of the thoughts that I have in mind. What if the cable breaks because it can't handle the heaviness? What if the wind will blow hard? I was holding my breath as the vehicle starts to escalate in angle and my fear of heights came in but I bravely watched the view outside. The adventure ride took 15 minutes before we reached the next mountain.

There were lots of things waiting for us in the other side of the mountain. This is not yet the end. Get excited!
