Yesterday was Father's Day, so after the girls woke David up rather earlier than he was hoping, we went here --
the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence. He'd been here on a previous trip, and thought the girls would enjoy the tunnels in the old fort and the views of the harbor.
Julia discovered the echo capabilities of the tunnels early on -- the exhibits were a bit much for the under-fives, but upstairs was a drawing area with tables and crayons and chops for stamping on their finished artwork, and the girls did have a good time running around outside, even though it was pretty hot.
On the way back, I got a little bonus when we stopped off here --
GB Woollens at the Cityplaza mall in Taikoo Shing (!). They were having a sale (!!), so I picked these up for HK$59 apiece (about US$7.59, retailing at home for $8.95) --
RYC Cashcotton 4-Ply in shade 903 Seafoam, a subtle tweedy tealy-greeny shade. Maybe it will be enough for the Interlocking Balloons scarf....
I haven't been to that museum after all these years in HK. Thanks for mentioning.
