Day out at the HK Zoological and Botanical Garden

Spring is FINALLY here!!! And spring is soooo worth celebrating. Beautiful flowers in bloom, sanguine weather, well-maintained HK parks....I simply luuuurrrrvvvvveeee the outdoors. Ironically, I enjoyed HK outdoors much more than the Singapore outdoors, though Singapore is a much "cleaner" city...I am sure the weather has everything to do with it. Or maybe it is because I am so not bothered about work here (term paper? what term paper?).

So it was a great day out. Clear sky, cool breeze, low human traffic (we set out as early as we could to beat the crowd). Both kids were good humored today. The only thing is...we should have brought extra batteries for the camera and packed our own lunch. But it's ok, we will definitely be back!

Here's Augustine trying to impress ang mo girls (actually there was another prettier one that he tried to chat up but she ran away before I could whip out the camera)


And here is Benedict trying to conquer the crocodile...


Here's Augustine trying to decide the odds against winning the crocodile in wrestling...


And this is Augustine's victory roar...


And having conquered the croc, Augustine must conquer the whale as well...


Benedict looking demure in his pram. :)


Beautiful spring flowers in bloom...too bad the battery went flat, else we would have more of the beautiful park...
