Chinese New Year- Fireworks

We were already battling the crowds for a spot on the pavement, to watch the fireworks, 3 hours before it began. It was actually lovely sitting on the pavement, eating supper and New Years cakes that people gave us, watching the sky grow dark and the city lights come out.
Arden was very expectant as we had tried to explain 'fireworks' to him- but the minute it started, he dived into his pram and covered his head with all his blankets and lay there like a terrified rabbit, sucking his dummy for dear life! I finally managed to coax him out and he seemed to enjoy it, by the end he was pointing and saying "pretty".
I've never seen such a magnificent display, set to music.






By the finale, the entire night sky was ablaze.

After the fireworks, we got hot chocolate from Starbucks and walked around a lantern display and then headed down Nathan road, to experience it by night.

Nathan Road.

Dis wonderlik om te sien hoe julle aanpas en met soveel oorgawe die tyd benut en meeste daarvan maak!
