This is the last day of our trip. We decided to have breakfast in our room that morning. It would give us more time to prepare for our departure that day. We had lots of left-over bread from last night. It went down well with jerky from Bee Cheng Hiang.
Our first stop was LV. Unfortunately, it was still closed at 10AM. We decided to hit the nearest outlet of Bee Cheng Hiang again to replenish the stock that we finished off. We got extra to bring home with us. Hopefully, LV would be open by then already.
We had to wait some more. It was so silly, people scampered around the main entrance as the doors were about to open. I was one of those silly people. I did not want to wait in line since we do have time. We needed to go back to the hotel to finish packing by 1145 so we can check out by 12.
The LV boutique along Canton Road stood out in its metallic "Damier" walls. It shone brightly in broad daylight. I was amazed to see that the store had three levels. All levels were occupied by LV fanatics. However, with all those LV merchandize, I didn't find anything I like. The one that I was hoping to get was the Damier Neverfull that wasn't available in HK. Oh well. Vic was teasing me about missing an opportunity to own another LV.
I checked out Gucci and Chanel. Still nothing tugged my heart/wallet.
Vic wanted to get a pair of work-out shoes and a duffel bag to fit the excess items in our luggage. It would be faster if he went without us (Johann and me) so we just stayed inside Harbor City while he headed for the nearest Addidas.
Lunch was at Food Republic. The rest of our group had lunch there, as well. We should've gone there for our meals. The meals were tasty and very affordable. The serving size was big enough for two people. Even Johann, who was very picky then, enjoyed his Wonton noodles.
Last on our list that day was to visit Granville for some more shopping. Bossini was a hit. They sold slacks at HK$89 and blouses at HK$69. I got some of those plus several more items for less than HK$700. We definitely needed to get a cheap-o wheelie to accommodate the additional stuff.
We raced back to the hotel from Granville in 15mins. We had just enough time to transfer some stuff into the new wheelie.
-------------------
We never thought that we'd survive four days without a yaya. Well, we had no choice but to make it work. Vic would often say to Johann, "Behave, or else, iiwan siya sa instik." I doubt if the little boy understood what he was saying.
We were rushing all the time. We could've gone to so many other places. We could've shopped till we dropped. Inspite of all those, the trip was fun. I'd like to go back and explore places we failed to visit. Maybe, when the kids are bit older?
-------------------
I forgot to mention that I also got a Gucci from a luxury bag shop along Haiphong. It looks authentic, with all the security tags and Gucci cards inside the bag. It is a black tote back in Guccissima leather. It is definitely a better choice than the coated canvas of the Damier Neverfull.
