Hannah's 7th Birthday - Day 3

Our third day in Hong Kong was a whole day stay in Ocean Park followed by a late night flight back to Manila.

These balloons remind me of the annual Hot Air Balloon Fiesta in Subic which is a good place to watch a platoon of real hot air balloons being set up and fly.

The highlight of our visit there was the cable car ride that took us from one end of the island to the other. Being on a steep slope suspended very high in a cage hooked to metal strings then with strong wind in your face as you look far down below is - susmaryosep! Awesome!

The only place in the the Philippines where we rode cable cars was in Tagaytay Highlands.

Nemo and a funny looking fish. Visit Manila Ocean Park to see more.

The dolphins in the marine show did not cooperate that day so the show was very short. The sea lions and dolphins in Subic Ocean Adventure have more talent and stage presence. Maybe the dolphins in Hong Kong Ocean Park woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Now I know how giant panda's sleep. All of them were asleep when we went to the giant panda habitat. The toys sold outside looked more active.

The Skyfair acrobats were very good and we enjoyed watching them. Look! All of them are upside down except for the boy at the bottom of the picture.
