The next day
Toppet and I decided to skip Ocean Park. As much as we’d like to see the fishes, dolphins and sea lions, we decided we want to explore the streets and visit the stores we had in mind. So while our friends spent the day at Ocean Park, we had our own schedule for the day. It was an impromptu plan but we managed to squeeze in the places we want to see in our itinerary. There was a lot of walking, but it was worth it. I’d say a pair of Sanuk wont hurt. 😆

After a little bit of shopping at Wellcome, we went back to our place to drop off the goodies. And now to explore Canton road, a major road in Hong Kong known for its upscale retail shops. I just wanted to see H&M haha. 😆
