We headed to the airport at around 3 in the morning and since I was coming off a tiring, long shift from work, we looked for a comfortable place to rest at the airport while waiting for our flight. It's not impossible to find a perfect spot with Changi's impressive facilities.
We were greeted by this huge plane as we were disembarking in Hong Kong.
The airport is huge but it's easy to find one's way. To get to the city, there is an Airport Express train that we considered taking; the fare is about 100 HKD (16 SGD, 520 PHP) per person. We opted to take a cab when we found out that it would approximately cost us 300 HKD which is roughly the same amount as that of our train ride since there three of us.
We stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Causeway Bay and the location is perfect as it is right across Times Square. Since it was still early to check in, we left our bags there and explored the area before settling to have lunch at Cafe de Coral.
Cafe de Coral is a pretty popular Chinese fast food place and while it is so, they gave some thought to their interiors so the place looked cool. There was a long queue when we got there but they were pretty efficient as we didn't have to wait long.
We then took a much needed quick nap after checking in before heading out to Victoria Peak at Central station.
We were greeted by a throng of people waiting to go up at 5 in the afternoon. We nearly backed out when we saw the crowd but since we didn't have any place to go, we decided to wait it out. It actually didn't take long as the line moved pretty fast. (Tip: Book your tickets online)
After exploring the Peak, we decided to take a bus ride down instead of the tram as the queue is crazy long and we couldn't bear the cold weather. We got off at Pacific Place where I saw a really cool restroom.
Before calling it a night, we made a quick stop at the night market over at Temple Street.
