Free n Ez Day 2, Shenzhen

Day 2 of our trip:

Date : 30 June 2009
Participants : Celine and Nathalie
Duration : 7 days
Accommodation : 如家七斗星商旅酒店
Expenses : RMB 137.50

The day we followed the Shenzhen 1 day tour. We waited the tour guide at the bus station. The 1st stop is to Zhong Ying Jie (中英街). We were aware that foreigners can't enter the street. We have to wait outside. Coincidentally, there were also Malaysians taking the tour. The mrs. argued with the tour guide as they didn't mentioned before that it is restricted to foreigners. Finally, after cooling down, the mrs. and her parents agreed to follow the tour but take the refund of Zhong Ying Jie's entrance fee. So did us. We had our breakfast in the bus while waiting them...

While waiting for them, the tour guide told us that the next stop is to Ocean World (RMB120). Means we are wasting our time taking this tour because this is not the place we want to go. *sigh* What else to do? Wait...and keep waiting...

The weather was damn hot, we couldn't stand with it. Sweated from the top to bottom, like staying in a sauna room. We insisted not to go in though because we are budget backpackers... *giggle* So we waited them in a restaurant and simply took some photos outside.

The following stop is to Yan Tian (盐田) port. Before depart, we were brought to a seaside restaurant for our seafood lunch. The meal was delicious and various. *Yummy* Again, the tour around Shenzhen-Hong Kong island (RMB80) was excluded. We waited again at the port. We were shock that we were not allow to take photo there. So we took them out of the security's sight. Shhh...

An hour later, we headed to the most exciting place- Window of World (世界之窗) (RMB120). This is the place where we planned to go before our departure. Finally, we reached there at 3:30pm. We didn't have enough time to try all the exciting rides and games because the park close at 6pm.
