HK: Day 4

What better way to start off the day than to see my puppy back at home?? My family and I miss Abbie so much that we had to set up a Skype date just to see her. She's doing well, but apparently sits by the door awaiting our return. Heartbreaking, but so adorable that my love for her grows exponentially.

Afterward, we headed downstairs to have some breakfast. Instead of eating noodles today, I had corn and pork congee. Mmmmm. So good. Oh, and what meal isn't complete without HK style milk tea?

Once breakfast was over, we went back to the flat to take a quick nap before meeting my aunt at 11:30. Today we had dim sum and shopped in Sha Tin. We had a $1000 HKD gift card for Zara, and I thought I would spend it in a flash no problem. WRONG. I almost forced myself to buy stuff. Thankfully our Mother's Day present saved the day and helped us spend the rest. Also, having to spend 3 hours in the mall was the worst  because we're still fighting jet lag. After about 1.5 hours, we were beeeat. Plus, apparently people in Hong Kong don't believe in providing comfortable seating for the weary. It was quite the adventure just to find a bench to sit on.

Mom's new friend

When we reunited with my mom and aunt, we headed to Sai Kung's Public Pier to check out the scenery. It was refreshing as we were by the water. Loads of people walking around with their dogs, and it was there we met the most beautiful 3 year old St Bernard. I don't care that they're super slobbery, I'm definitely getting one when I grow up.

Soon it was finally time for dinner. I'd been waiting to eat some good seafood, and eating by the pier calls for nothing but. I got my wish and ate some lobster and about 2 full crabs. I'm a fiend when it comes to yummy crustaceans.

K, so I'm finally back at home. Exhausted and my feet hurt. It may be time to go to bed. I'm clearly still jet lagged... but I did sleep from 10-7 straight last night. So it's getting better.

But for now, I'm going to give into fatigue and hit the hay. Peace out.
