新加坡東海岸公園踩單車 Singapore East Coast Park Cycling!

新加坡East Coast Park 係新加坡東南面一個沙灘公園,
係新加坡人喜歡去戶外做運動既好地 🙂  東海岸公園有8.5km 長既單車徑, roller-blade 緩跑徑,網球場, 釣蝦場, golf driving range, 食市, 游水, BMX場, Jet Ski…..咩都有得玩 🙂

今個星期日我地就去Roller blade 同 cycling!

Shiro 專車….如果去食飯帶埋尼架trolley真係一流地方便!!

出發了!

我深信狗就算坐車都會認得路…Kannie 同 Shiro 都好叻認路!

Shiro 真係好識歎

我地係 Cycle Max 租單車,
1018 East Coast Parkway, Pat 話佢地開到十一點都有得租!

成隻草泥馬咁望主Pauline租車!

Shiro 真係好乖, 佢坐係車頭如果佢唔定真係會好難揸

Pauline 同 Pauline 爸就 Roller blade…

個BMX Park好似好好玩

Bedok Jetty 係新加坡最長既釣魚碼頭

一路玩到sunset就去食晚飯lu

香港海事博物館 Hong Kong Maritime Museum

係香港海事博物館仲係赤柱既時候就硬係夾唔啱時間, 所以從來都無去過,
但係而家搬咗去中環後就就腳得多了!  從前既展館只有800平方米,
而家既就有4,400平方米!

由於絕大部份香港既Museum 都係HK$10-15,
起初對於入場費要hk$30 都覺得好貴, 原本亦以為 1個鐘多D就睇完,
最後亦發現係錯既! 今次既visit 絕對物超所值, 玩三四個鐘亦無問題!

第一層樓主要係講香港航海業嘅歷史, 好多展品都做得好仔細,
慢慢嗒咗D展品模型成個鐘係度  😛

乜粒炸蛋咁cute咁大粒既

數碼版 靖海全圖

以前D人比人呃去舊金山(三藩市)就係咁嘅樣。。。

1947年的橫欄燈塔係香港法定古蹟,近睇實物真係好靚,
1000,000 candlepowr 咁光。。即係好光 -_-“

另一個好好睇嘅展品就係呢隻, 有史以黎最大隻既船, 企係度高過吉隆坡既雙子塔!
亦原來香港都擁有過尼隻船, 船王董浩雲(香港前特首董建華之父)就擁咗隻船成十年…

展品極之細致…又慢慢㗳 😛

Screen Shot 2013-05-27 at 12.58.12 AMSeawise Giant 係最大, 而佢既船錨都係全世界最大!
遲D舊野就會擺係中環新海濱長廊變成一件 contemporary art…

The largest anchor in the world from the Seawise Giant!
It is going to be placed in front of the Maritime Museum in the near future.
Picture from HKMM’s Flickr. 其Flickr album有好多好有趣的圖片呢!

博物館二樓的觀港廳極之開揚, 我可以話要睇維多利亞港的話
係博物館二樓睇比起坐天星小輪睇更舒服更靚!!

hahaha, 黃色隻鴨仔都見到

IMG_2654望遠鏡入面睇返隻鴨!!隻鴨仔真係好hit, 好多人去睇!!

仲有三樓…時間不夠了, 匆匆睇下…下次再黎 😀

有個模擬船橋

其實連間Gift shop 都做得好有heart, 有好多真係好特別既野 🙂

感想…
Visit once is not enough!  製作絕對精美, 地點優越,
但係點解咁都咁少人去? 真係唔明白呢….
真係睇得出館長同D伙記都好用心的,
真心推介的好地方 🙂

大埔滘特別地區

大埔滘特別地區係香港最早的一個自然保護區,
其主要特點是保護大自然景物,作為觀賞及保育用途。

 自1977年開始保育, 時間長所以四周樹木都生張得非常茂盛,
特別多野睇特別多野影

泊車可以係大埔公路大埔滘段咪鏢位攪掂,
起點同終點都係同一個地方, 非常方便

起點付近一間我地覺得好似 zoo D habitat 咁既屋, 想當年應該好靚

絕對覺得Kannie係一隻好鐘意探險既既狗,
去新地方佢會好生猛, 左睇右睇左睇右睇左睇右睇左睇右睇…..

叫得做林徑。。。全程 2:45小時真係全
部都係樹林入面, 睇唔到出面係咩世界!!

春天又暖又濕, 周圍都見到好多菇, 好多菌

行得林經景觀就沒有了,
但係比樹木包圍既感覺真係好好, 好靜, 空氣好清新好香

林徑分四條不同長度既trail, 3km至10km等,
我地揀左第三長既啡徑, 7.5km……

7.5km, 接近三小時就行完。。。之後我地去左西貢滔滔!

回程時又落雨。。。
幾時先落完雨ah…

The Hong Kong Police Museum

So here we go, visiting the museums of Hong Kong again!

The Hong Kong Police Museum
Since its a very pretty day, we decided to go to the Hong Kong Police Museum!

The Hong Kong Police Museum is a free entry museum and it can easily spend you 1-2 hours visiting!
Learning the history of Hong Kong, understanding the Triad Societies (which looks very much like those in HK movies)
and to learn how to make Heroin through the Narcotics Gallery…!

Since it is not allowed to take pictures inside the museum,  I have not taken any
picture of the place but…..I dont know why…theres this picture and…
we have a similar printing machine at Ditto Ditto too!

Plenty of parking available at the Police Museum,
there is also the Wan Chai Gap Playground nearby too!

After visiting the police museum, we went to barker road peak tram station
to walk around and had this gorgeous view of Hong Kong!

香港鴨利洲玉桂山副峰 Hong Kong Ap Lei Chau Yuk Kwai Shan (Mount Johnston)

今個星期日懶懶閒, 同兩老食完拉麵 ,
陪完老母買餸, 返屋企訓個晏覺就揀個超簡單 Target 啦!

香港 – 鴨利洲 – 玉桂山

鴨利洲 係全世界人口密度第二最高既島
而第一既就係加勒比海既 Santa Cruz del Islote…
但係有 Over 1200 人住係度!!

鴨利洲其實好似一個小香港…島中心就係一個山丘
而果個山丘就係今次要去既玉桂山副峰

————————————————————————-————————————————

點揸車去:
香港 – 鴨利洲 -> 海怡工貿中心 或
海怡工貿中心付近小街 (後果自負!)

起點:

利南道走上去就是

路綫:
利南道 -> 玉桂山副峰 -> 利南道

時間:
1 小時

————————————————————————————————————————–

其實個山得135米….真係急屎都行到上去

真係話咁快就到頂!

左邊果個先係玉桂山正峰, 下次先去…聽人講話上山條路係利東村巴士總站後面上就得

有個好靚海景既 玉桂山配水庫休憩處

南丫度全景

因為成五點先起行。。。落山時以經太陽落山了。。。玉桂山副峰過程好短,
作位鴨利洲居民就真係好方便,但係如果特登去既話, 就最好準備上埋玉桂山主峰, 再落鴨脷排
玩就會抵D….(但上玉桂山主峰並無主路…路面會比較爛)

廣州遊 – 石室聖心大教堂

是次旅程第二最想參觀既就係石室聖心大教堂,
今此幸運, 平日教堂係唔會open to public, 但係當我地去到既時候有學校site visit,
我地就好好彩可以一齊入去參觀!!

清朝時期起既教堂 (即大概140年前)…全部用花崗石建成,因為而廣州無花崗石既原故,
成個教堂既石都係由香港牛頭角同/茶果嶺開採出來的大麻石…咁遠水路攪咁多野…
到底要幾多人力先可以搬咁多石頭??以前D人真係好勁!!

如果你有睇 TVB 劇集 義海豪情既話….lee度就係九姑娘同劉醒成日見面既地方!

多得後面班學生, 我地先有得入去參觀咋

大教堂外的廣場, 翻新了好整潔

—————————————————–

Interesting info:
石室聖心大教堂(英語:Sacred Heart Cathedral)原為兩廣總督葉名琛的官邸所在地。在第二次鴉片戰爭,官邸被佔領並燒光,然後被改為教堂。教堂坐落於中國廣州市一德路,是天主教廣州教區最宏偉、最具有特色的一間大教堂。該教堂建於1863年,落成於1888年,歷時25年。由於教堂的全部牆壁和柱子都是用花崗岩石砌造,所以又稱之為石室或石室耶穌聖心堂、石室天主教堂,1997年被列為全國重點文物保護單位。

Similan Island Snorkel Tour – 斯米蘭群島 – Phuket Thailand

After much decision with Pauline, we decided to go a bit further away from Patong the best Snorkeling experience!
Part of the reason is that the Similan Island only opens from November to May, given that the rest of the year there will be no visitor.

Similan Island is rated one of the top ten diving site in the world according the the National Geographic Society.
It is approximate 2.5 hours land and sea travel away from Patong and it consist of nine islands.

The trip was about $4000baht for 2 person with all transport, breakfast and lunch,
We will be picked up from the hotel and be send back to the hotel at 7pm!

We were being picked up from the hotel at 6:30am and send to the Tap Lamu Pier.
Tea/coffee and snacks were provided while we were waiting other tour member to arrive 🙂
It was about 1 hour 15 mins ride from our hotel…

We were then briefed about the tour and safety issues before we head on the speed boat.
This tour guide was so funny that he had made the boring demonstration so funny!

So this is our speed boat and we have arrived Ba Ngu Island (Island #9)

View of the island from the speedboat!

Oops, sorry for the waterdrop on the lens 😛

Colorful fishing can be seen easier at the shoreline!

There is a camping site on island #9!

Lots and lots of Beautiful coral fish!

Then we had picnic at Island #5, I think… The pineapples were really nice!

More snorkel…

😛 We were hungry when we got back to town at 7pm, so I got a Banana Nutella pancake for snack!

—————————————————————

After all, the trip was awesome! Even though we had to spend like 5 hours travel back and forth the island,
but there sure is enough time for snorkel and relaxation at the beach!

Shek O Mini Golf

It is our 3rd Mini Golf Challange and Andrew finally won the battle! Its now a 2(Pauline):1(Andrew) status and so far we have done it in three different country! Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong (Please view earlier blog)! Sounds like a world tour isn’t it 😛

 Shek O Mini Golf!

So this time, we were in Hong Kong Shek O and its the one and only Mini Golf range here.  Located next to the Shek O beach, with only 9 holes and made up of hard solid granite rock…its gonna be a tough to play!

I am going to start the game!


The Great Wall!

Headache-ing how to deal with it!

And Pauline went inside the whole thing!!!

At last, I won the game (finally) and we concluded that the Shek O Mini Golf had the WORST setup! Hard concrete floor had made the ball real bouncy and the obstacle were really challenging!

After the game, Pauline and I went for a tan and to cool us down from the exciting game we had 😛

The Shek O beach next to the Mini Golf
