The best Christmas I've ever had.

On Christmas Eve we checked into the Disney resort and spend Christmas and Boxing day at Disneyland. And it was magic. 

Hong Kong

Zoo and botanical gardens
I can't say that I've ever really had the thought "I really want to go check out Hong Kong." My main motive for booking us flights to Hong Kong was to ticket of my fifth Disney park. This blog will be about our pre-Disney stay in Hong Kong.

It's spinning!!
I enjoyed it, but MAN DID WE GET LOST A LOT. But that became part of the fun of it. We just walked and saw where we ended up. On our first day we "planned" to go up the peak, but ended up at the Zoological and Botanical gardens instead. Arch loved it so much he didn't want to leave. I had promised Immy that Hong Kong would be the home of fidget spinners (based on nothing) and I got lucky, the first cute shop we walked into had the cutest novelty fidget spinners.

I loved the Harbour and our trips across it.

One the second day, when we did make it up the peak, we ended up spending 6 hours up at the top, eating, shopping and going for a walk. The food was great, the shopping was interesting and the view was amazing.

Durian ice-cream.... 
I wish we'd had some more time in Hong Kong! But it was time to escape to another world for Christmas. It was time to go Disney.

It was a little cool in Hong Kong in the lead up to Christmas 

How beautiful is Singapore?

Let us finish off Singapore. It's only taken me three months to get back to it. Here are some photos of our day walking around the Garden's by the bay, we went there to check out the Christmas set up (which was such a rip off!) They had dodgy little rides, that you had to by tokens for (I think each token was $2-3, and each ride was 2-3 tokens, some were 4. So we left the Christmas section pretty quickly. I really enjoyed the rest of the Gardens by the bay set up, and we walked under the MBS and watched the laser show that night.
I think that I would happily holiday in Singapore again! I need my sting-ray fix! (Yum!)
