    We had the morning to visit the Hong Kong Botanical and Zoological Gardens, a green haven in the middle of the city at the base of Victoria Peak. We had to have congee for breakfast and coffe- tea- mix before catching the tram to Pedder Street. From where the tram stops, the hike up to the botanical and zoological gardens was steep and long. It was worth it though when we got there. It was small but had quite a good assortment of little creatures. The lemurs made quite a racket in their enclosure. It was also the first time that I've seen a sloth.
    After the gardens we headed back to the hotel to shower, pack and check out. Our flight wasn't till almost 7pm so we went one last time to Sister Wah for beef brisket noodles and wantons in chilli oil. We had planned to take the airport express which was the MTR and then another train change. However the concierge suggested we take a bus A11 that takes us straight to terminal 1 from just outside our hotel. It was a quarter of the price and for the same duration as the trains without the need to navigate a change of trains.
    We met Warrick and Kai at the airport and Kai retrieved her earbuds without any problems.
    Flight back was very comfortable. Singapore Airlines does delivery on service and flight experience.
