Hong Kong - Perfect Weather

We got up on Sunday morning and decided that we would do the Dim Sum at City Hall for lunch. We aimed to be there for 11:30 to try and avoid waiting time and if there was we would not be in a huge panic to eat anyway. I had been there with work on Thursday so I knew that once you are seated it does not take long for the table to get loaded with food.

We had to wait about 25 minutes and sure enough once we sat down it took less than a minute for the first 2 or 3 dishes to be on our table. We ended up with loads of different things to try and god knows what some of them were but most of them tasted great. Nia surprisingly really loved the Squid and the Pak Choi. It was quite an experience and the idea of the women pushing the trolleys laden with food around and you just look at what they have and say yes or no is fantastic. It really means you try things you might normally miss. We left the Chicken feet out this time though as I had tried them on Thursday. They tasted fine but I never really got passed the Feet bit.

After lunch we walked down to Pacific Place had a look around the shops and then headed home. The heat today was just a little too much as the clouds were gone and the sun was really blasting.

Once we got home we got ready for the pool and got straight into it. It really felt like we were back on holiday. The sun was shining and their was just that holiday feel to the whole place this afternoon. The girls loved it and we were down there for a good 2 hours before retreating out of the sunshine again to have a quiet evening in.
