Day 1 (Friday): In the Harbour View Room

Assalamualaikum...

Following my first experience riding a mercedes, through jammed and rain, Din and i arrived at Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers about 3.20 pm. Sheraton is one of the hotels at Kowloon Peninsula, overlooking the beautiful Hong Kong Island to the south. It is located strategically at the intersection of the famous Nathan Road and Salisbury Road.
If you cross the Salisbury Road to the south, you will find SOGO, HK Museum of Art, HK Space Museum, Space Theatre and HK Cultural Centre. And then, 20 steps or more, you will find yourself at the Avenue of Stars, the place where the view of the amazing skyscrapers of HK Island is the clearest and the most beautiful.
As the hotel attendants came rushing to us and carried our luggages away, i waited at the hotel lobby for Din to check-in. Then, about 5 minutes later, we went to our room, at the 14th floor.
The minute we enter the room, i went straight to the window... and wow... the breathtaking scenery of HK Island was in front of my eyes..!
True to what Din has told me repeatedly before, the view from this room was so stunning! No wonder it is called "Harbour View Room". Although it was still foggy out there, i can still see all the places i mentioned above, and the outline of all the skyscrapers stood strongly overlooking us...
This is the only picture i have of the view from our room. Thanks to Din's camera phone. taken early in the morning of Day 2.

I don't know how long the amazement last, and only after that, did I pay attention to the room. Here i give you the glimpse of our room... (taken from the internet)

Look at the window. Believe me, it was a real deal!

The bathroom, as expected, is excellent. As you can see, there's no wall separating the room and the bathroom. Only glass. Meaning, you can also see the view outside while brushing our teeth! So, make sure you close the drape over the glass when you take a bath huh!

I wish you were there with me to see everything that i saw.
Alhamdulillah...

P/S. One of my good friend asked me whether i went to Disneyland HK. I said yes. Here is the picture. But, the story about it will come later, k...
