Space Museum

Another late start to our day but that's the way in Hong Kong as everywhere is open till late, we headed down to the science museum for an educational day out. The science museum is housed in what looks like half a golf ball and costs $10HK which is about £0.60, good value for money i think. It was a little less hands on than i was expecting but good fun still. Tj got to practice her moon walking (not the Michael Jackson kind). I tried a bit of virtual hangliding before we went to have a look in the space shuttle cockpit with ziggy. We spent about 2 hours wandering around the exhibits.



By now our stomachs were rumbling and so we went to find somewhere to eat, Tj requested that we found a place that didn't serve noodles and we happened to stumble across an Irish bar called Murphy's. The food was great compared to noodles, we both had cajun chicken sandwiches with chips and it was proper chicken as is not the yellow fatty chicken they have here.



After we had stuffed ourselves on western food we decided to visit the science museum and headed off. When we got the science museum we found it was closed on Thursdays but the Hong Kong History museum which is opposite was open. We bought tickets and were told it was only open for another hour, we thought this would be enough time to have a look round but ended up only looking at 4 of the 8 exhibits and so planned to go back at some point.

At this point we were tired because of all the walking so decided to head back to the hotel, unfortunatly this coincided with everyone else wanting to go home too. We tried to get on the underground train but first train was so full that we had to wait for the next one and even then it was a squeeze. I don't think that I could do that everyday.



We finally got back to the hotel and got changed to try the hotel restaurant. Wasn't anything special and felt it was over priced. We don't think we will be eating there again.
