Hong Kong Wetland Park, May 2nd 2009

Go to Album

Today's plan had been to go ice skating in the morning first off and then head out to Yuen long in the very north of Hong Kong to meet up with some one who has found a Golden Retriever which is in a post a few days back. This plan was blown up when we got to Megabox for skating at the perfect time and there was an all day Ice Hockey tournament in progress.

The girls were upset and Nia was just not having it that she was not allowed to go skating but I managed to convince her this WAS the case and we got back into the car and headed off. It was too early to call about seeing the dog so we decided to go to the Wetland Park which had been on my agenda for this weekend anyway.

It's a great drive out to that part of the world, big quiet roads and with 30 degree heat we had the windows and sunroof open and the music blaring....only in remote spots will I play this music so loud and I won't go any further than that.

We got to the park and the guy before us got the last park. We were told to try again n about 2 hours, what is it with these people! We went and parked down the road and got a taxi back after a quick early lunch.

The girls enjoyed bits of the park, things like the Hides, the Crocodile and the Swamp Adventure Playground. Other than that though it was really just a walk on a prety hot day which went down quite well until nearly the end. I'll let the photos do the talking but the place was not exactly teeming with wildlife. Still I guess that proves it isn't commercial and it's nice to see hey have not figured out how to pay the animals to come yet!

It is agreat facility and it is so well set up I would definitely go for another look, probably not on a public holiday Saturday though.
