elusivekIt was a Sunday, and it's been a while since we were last in Hong Kong, so my Sis and I figured we'd make a trip out of it for the game Pokemon Go.
I did some homework to see where the event locations would be, and got it in my head a rough itinerary.
Before we left, the kitties hanging around the router (it warms their butts). While I had my early dog walk with Frankie, I saw this Pikachu Tesla (hey it's electric, it's yellow, so... this was a matched design LOL, much like my orange Charmander car).
The ferry ride was uneventful. We got to Hong Kong and took the star ferry to TST side. On the way I got my first event Eevee. See me kitted out in full Pikachu gear. Even my socks were yellow Pikachu LOL.
There was the event location giving out some random (trash LOL sorry) but we got it all the same. We put on the sun visor and I sort of got used to it. We walked along the Victoria Harbour, TST side, and absent-mindedly went to Starbucks with that cap. Got asked by the Barista if we were having fun LOL.
The 1881 was one of the spots. There was some guided tour guy leading a group walking through.
Just having fun with the in-game camera function.
I never actually knew where The Peninsula Hotel was. I thought it was on Island side but apparently it's on TST side. Christmas decor is cute.
This is... Avenue of the Stars or something. They've got a few statues of film sets. There was a Bruce Lee somewhere too, but too many people around that one
From there, we tried to look for the MTR and sort of got to K11 Musea. Made a quick walkaround. There's a small shop making croissants that looked like baubles LOL. We found a restaurant for lunch, ate up, and then made our way to Causewaybay....
Because we found out Windsor (a shopping mall) was doing a Pokemon event too.
The queue for the Pikachu Santa was so long, we decided not to queue for it.
Anyway, we then left, got on the Tram and made our way back to Central, quick walk through Donki, did some shopping in the new(ish) hip(ish) Central Market, and got on an earlier ferry back to Macau because my Sis had a migraine growing.
Inconsequential conclusions: no Eevee shinies for either of us, joined in 2 raids, joined 1 dynamax raid, got a bunch of event eevees and got a couple of other shinies instead.
