LAST DAY OF THE RACE: Farewell hongkong! Till the next time!

The last day of our trip was mainly alloted to go to the peak and get everything we still wanted to get before heading out to the airport at 7:30 pm. :) Both of us woke up extra early (around 8 a.m.) and then already started packing the loot we have bought from the first 2 days along with our other things! I then instructed drew to be strategic about packing his stuff so that his things prior to this last day's haul will be mostly on one side of his luggage and then the new stuff he buys for the day can be easily packed in later on. I then called the frontdesk and asked for a late check-out and they gladly obliged, giving us until 2 pm. :) We then left at 9:00 am to go to Central and then went out the J2 exit and walked along Garden's Road towards the Peak Tram.

It indeed is nice to walk in central in the morning --





but by this time drew and I just wanted to reach the peak tram because we've had enough of walking, thank you. haha.

You could tell that drew was still sleepy! hehe.

We then took the peak tram which was fun--



and reached the actual peak at around 10am.

We took a lot of pics of the cityview but the clear glass terrace walls are something else. There were moments that I got scared but pretended not to be! Drew kept teasing me though, plus I think he made me pose for a lot of pics whilst leaning on the clear glass on purpose. hahahaha!







A lovely austrian guy took this shot for us. Thank you again mister! heehee.

We then ate lunch at Bubba Gump at the peak, the resto had a very nice view and the food and service was the best we've had in hk! (Price was the best too btw, haha! But so worth it. *wink*)

We ordered steak and shrimp for andrew and cajun shrimps and caesar salad for me. Drink was the Run forrest run shake for both of us. Yummy!

By the time we finished eating I checked my watch and realized that it was already 12:00nn (remember that we had to check out by 2 pm?) and so I decided that we can only go to one more stop before heading back to tsim sha tsui. We then went down via the tram again--

Tram ride going down was so fun because we were seated backwards! haha.

and can you guess where we decided to have that one last stop?

Why H&M of course! hahaha. We were in central already anyway and it was only like 7 minutes away so we made a run (or more of a brisk walk) for it and gave ourselves a 60-minute-grab-all-you-like last minute shopping at H&M. hahaha! Well, we got a really nice haul because of the adrenalin I think. heehee. :) By the time we left h&m, it was already 1:15 pm so we were literally running towards the mtr station (with drew carrying 2 h&m paperbags!)

Can you believe that I took this shot whilst we were running to the mtr? haha!

Another "running" shot! The mtr station exit (or should I say entrance?) is right beside LV. XD

We then reached the hotel at around 1:40 and did a very quick final fixing of our luggages (as well as a quick change from my biker jacket into a cream cardigan) and then were able to check out at exactly 2 pm. phew! I told you it was really like an amazing race! hehehe. We were laughing like kids the whole time because we really cut it too close this time. XD

By 2:05 pm, drew and I then left our luggage at the bell services area and told them that we'll come back for the bags at around 7 pm as our flight is at 10 pm. Well, we still had 5 hours in our hands before 7 pm so guess where we went next?

We went to causeway bay --

where andrew felt like eating haagen daz ice cream:

He got strawberry and I got tiramisu. So good!

and I got stuff from shiseido and something from lee garden's two. :) Can you guess what it is?



By 6 pm we then headed back to Tsim Sha Tsui but went down the landmark in central first to get a last minute thing. *wink wink*

Here are some random pics during our final-final stop in Central of hongkong island.



Drew checking out stuff at the small accessories case or perhaps just catching his breath with grace? haha!

We then went right back in the mtr station to TST and got there quickly. We actually reached kimberley road a little earlier than expected and so I told andrew that we have time to spare before going to the airport. :) We decided to eat at a super cute japanese dessert place called azabusabo in kimberley road.

I got waffles with mixed fruits and caramel ice cream,



and andrew had a chocolate and milk soft sundae.



After that nothing much happened. We got our luggages at 7 pm, waited for the free shuttle, got on the airport express, reached the airport, and checked in right on time. *wink*

We simply waited at the terminal for 15 minutes before we finally got on the plane to manila... Goodbye HK was all I can say to myself sadly... :)

To end this post is the only loot pic I am able to take. This pic is missing some stuff but at least you'll get a feel of my shopping haul! I'm so sorry, i know it's fun to see pics of each of them but I cannot take anymore individual pics as it's too time-consuming! *sighs* I fixed them already in my closet and I kind of really need to take it easy before hell begins this sunday... hope I haven't disappointed everyone so much. *weak smile* Hey, pretty much everything is here. Just play spot the item! heehee.



You know, ending this entry makes me somewhat sentimental. I enjoyed every single moment of this trip and am glad to have shared this with all of you! ;) Can't wait to go back to hk! Drew probably can't wait either. hehe!
