During our time in Hong Kong, we visited Disneyland and it was a fun day out for all. Sophie was particularly interested in Minnie Mouse and purchased a souvenir Minnie which has slept with her every night since. The boys all loved the Space Mountain roller coaster.
We also travelled by ferry across Victoria Harbour to the well known 'Stanley Market' on Hong Kong Island. an interesting mix of stalls and then stopped for a much needed ice cold smoothie and lunch (it was so hot there!). We found ourselves following the locals in HK using an umbrella when outside to shelter us from the hot sun.
Once in London we experienced some cool summer weather, a nice change after the 33 degree humid days in HK. We purchased another umbrella (for the intermittent English rain this time!)and were ready to explore the city. After a traditional lunch at an English pub, we stopped at Trafalgar Square and managed a quick photo with one of the lions (Sophie had been waiting to see the lions as they appear in one her picture books at home). All in all, a wonderful five days in London.
Once in Brighton, the girls didn't take much time to get acquainted, finding they have many common interests (they are only 10 weeks apart in age - perfect!).
