Hongkong Part 1

The airport is impressive and very grand, need I mention very large too? But don’t worry too much if you have a lot of luggage, your feet won’t get tired at all. You can just ride the conveyor and off you go! There are only small gaps between the conveyors and you will be reminded each time it ends and it starts so you won’t get into any accident. Cool . I wish our own terminal has this too. Sad.

Anyway, don’t forget to drop by the tourist corner where you can grab all the travel guides, maps that you need, for free! Also, before you leave the airport, buy an octopus card. I call this the all around debit card. You can use it in the trains, buses, and fastfood joints. I absolutely love this card. I cannot rave enough about it. You don’t even have to take it out of your wallet, no need to swipe, you just put it on top of the machine, and voila!

The transportation hub is very easy to find. Instead of taking the express train which was a bit expensive, we chose to ride the double decker bus haha. Commuting in Hongkong is a breeze. Buses have designated routes and stops you just have to consult the sign and/or your map and you will know which bus number you have to take to your destination. Again, I love the buses. Every impending bus stop is announced. You surely won’t miss your stop, you can even read the LED signage on the bus itself to know which stop is next. Most hotels give directions on how it can be reached and we just followed the directions we downloaded from the web. We did not get lost.

We chose an accommodation in Nathan Road and near the train station. We did not regret it. Tsim Sha Tsui is accessible by foot, so after checking in and taking a short rest, we took a stroll.

First, we visited the Museum of Art and the Science Museum. I recommend visiting the Museum of Art and History. If you don’t have kids with you, you can skip the science museum. At the museum of history, you will get to see a lot of artifacts, from scrolls to china. I specially love the section filled with gold ornaments made by ancient chinese.

After the museums, you can just walk to the cultural center, which is a marvel that a photo-op is necessary. The avenue of stars is just nearby and the clock tower. The tsim sha tsui promenade is ideal for whiling away your time and don’t forget to wait for the Symphony of Lights. The view from Tsim Sha Tsui of Victoria Harbor is beautiful both at day and at night. Stay longer and enjoy the sights. By the way, if you're not an experienced photographer, you need to shell out a few bucks for a really nice picture at the victoria harbor. For me, it was worth it. We also had an artist sketch us, a nice souvenir :)

MISIBIS BAY

MISIBIS BAY, Cagraray Island, Bacacay, Albay

Misibis Bay is located at Cagraray Island, Municipality of Bacacay, Province of Albay Philippines. The nearest airport is Legazpi City. From Legazpi, it is about 30-45 minutes by land (including barge transfers) and you will pass by the scenic route of sula channel.

This i believe is a faucet/washing area. Cute isn't it?

I so admire the interior, indeed attention was given to every detail of the resort. This is the ceiling of the dining/restaurant area.

You can have a lovely stroll on your way to your villa. I felt like i was in Caleruega, Batangas.

The infinity pool. Notice that the sand of the beach is brown. In all, I would recommend this resort to those who can afford it and are wishing for a relaxing, private escapade. Free from crowds and staring gazes of strangers.
