29 Nov 2013 - 2nd trip to Hong Kong this year

Ever since we came back from our Hong Kong trip in May this year, Jerlene and Javier had been asking me when we can go to HK Disneyland again.  At that time, I had promised them Oct but due to our busy schedule, our 2nd HK trip was delayed till now.  We took the second morning flight (on subload) whereby there were still quite a number of available seats.

The Christmas decoration is already put up at Terminal 3 and this year's theme is SpongeBob SquarePants.
We had quite a good impression of Novotel Citygate at Tung Chung during our previous trip.  As such, we decided to stay there again for this trip.  The hotel provides free shuttle to and from Novotel Citygate, which is just 5 mins away from the airport.
The room that we were allocated this time round seems slightly smaller than the one we stayed previously.  And it did not have a bathtub in the toilet but that's ok because the weather was quite cold even without aircon at this time of the year.  Below is the mountain view from our room.
We had our lunch at 大家乐 in Fu Dong Mall, our favourite eating place during the last trip.
I did not plan any specific itinerary for today.  It was already 3pm by the time we finished lunch.  We were supposed to meet a friend in Causeway Bay but she could not make it last minute.  So we decided to take the tram to the Peak.  From Tung Chung MTR station, we took the train to Hong Kong MTR station where we walked to the connected Central station.  We followed a map and finally reached the Peak Tram station.  Sad to say, the queue at the station was terrible and we decided to give it a miss.  Looking at the queue, I guessed we would probably have to wait for more than an hour.  Jerlene and Javier will not have the patience to wait so long.  Guess it's because today is Friday.
As we walked back to Central Station, we passed by St John Cathedral.  We went in to take a look before going to 湾仔.  There we found our favourite 鸡蛋仔 and we bought two packets.
By then, Javier was so tired and sleepy.  He kept asking to go back to our hotel.  It's understandable because all of us woke up before 6am this morning.  Anyway the sky turned dark as early as 5:30pm.  Before heading back to our hotel room, we bought some snacks and tit bits for the next few days.
