This summer we decided to stop in Hong Kong and Beijing for a week on the way home to Canada. We spent a night in downtown Hong Kong (Kowloon) near the popular Nathan street. We spent a relaxing morning in this beautiful park. There were many locals doing there morning tai chi exercises, an animal sanctuary, and playgrounds for the boys. You would never guess you were surrounded by millions of people here. Later that day we boarded an overnight train to Beijing, at least this is what we hoped seeing the ticket agent didn't speak english and my cantonese is quite limited (zero in fact).
We made it to the train where Owen could barely contain his excitement. We were lucky enough to have our own sleeping compartment which was quite comfortable for the 24hrs train ride. Yes, that's right, 1 full day in a small space with 2 very excited little boys. Yet again the boys surprised us with their adaptability and had a great time running up and down the hallway, entering random peoples rooms where they would receive candy, and playing with anyone that was looking for something to do.
We did manage to get some rest on the trip. Logan, not being used to sleeping out of his crib, went to exhaustion and finally passed out with Momma. Owen had no problems and was right at home in his top bunk.
