Day 42: Ocean Park


Happy, hot camper
Ocean Park is located on top of a mountain with incredible views on all sides

Beautiful reprieve in the middle of the amusement park
View from the Ferris Wheel.


We had too little time in Thailand;  we could have stayed for two weeks and loved every minute.  I didn't want to make the same mistake in Hong Kong so I booked us for four full days.  After day one we were wondering what we could possibly do for that long with kids.  The problem had nothing to do with a lack of things to do.  The problems were 1-the crazy-high cost of everything, 2-the intense summer heat and 3-we were all petering out on playing tourists, especially in a big city.  We shook it up by hitting Ocean Park, a huge amusement park just outside of the city.  It was actually reasonably priced (cheaper than Hong Kong Disney), and the kids loved it.  The heat and the lines made you want to cry (Jacob at one point in the day declared he would never go to an amusement park again) but the kids all claim it was one the highlights of the whole Asian experience!
