The world's best hot chocolate

For as long as my dad has been going to Hong Kong he has been staying at The Marco Polo Hong Kong. 


For as long as he has been staying at The Marco Polo Hong Kong he has been raving about the "world's best hot chocolate". 

After about 20 years of hearing about it I finally got to try it. 


They also have Tea flavoured chocolates. 


I'm not going to tell you if I think it lives up to it's reputation. You'll just have to come and try it for yourself. ;)

Hong Kong

I fully intended to do a day by day update and now I've been back for two weeks and I haven't posted anything and today I'm off the The Philipines so it seems a bit mute now. 

Oh dear. 

Well, consider this my wrap up. 

The first night. This is from the balcony at one of the hotel entrances. 

On the Star Ferry


One of the amazing view points at the peak. 

Had to take a photo of this. 

Just hanging out with giant Snoopy

The awesome bamboo scaffolding on the buildings. 

Fish markets in the new territories

Oh, and the hotel had a Movenpick INSIDE it. 

Me and Nicole with the loom bracelet she made me. 

Ok that's it. Off on the next adventure.

Birthday

Well, end of financial year and my birthday all rolled into one. What a busy month. 

I got totally spoiled...





Sparklers because, sparklers!

The amazing birthday cake my mum baked me. Chocolate mouse cake with fresh strawberries.

Are you sensing a theme here?


For me birthdays are always a chance to reflect on the last year and evaluate my life path. Birthdays much more than New Year's for me as it's much more personal. 
I'm feeling a bit make or break at the moment. Like I need to feel the fear to really push myself. 

Maybe it's just me but I'd love to hear if anyone else feels this way around their birthday.
