Day 74 - Felix – the home of the greatest cocktail
Had a spring in my chew as I chomped through the BEST toast in the world in the Lobby for breakfast ... I slept like a tranquilised hippo last night!
Am on the 22nd floor of The Peninsula … on Kowloon and have views from 3 sides of Central, the Harbour and Kowloon … with a telescope, everything looks so detailed! Heehee!
0800 – film exteriors in BRIGHT sunlight!
0900 – drive around in one of the 14 Rolls-Royce long-wheelbase limos that the hotel has … not bad … not bad at all …
1000 – The Peninsula was opened on December 11th 1928 … then a Tower was added in 1994 – now 300 rooms and 54 suites … I have one of them.
1030 – afternoon “tea” … the BEST cucumber sandwiches IN THE WORLD!
1100 – part of my “family” in HK – Lamey is here to look after us. She takes me shopping in two of the 80 luxury shops in the hotel … one is Davidoff for some cigars … the other … I won’t say which … it’s a SURPRISE!!!
1200 – lunch – yum
1400 – general room/suite shots before wandering up to The Clipper Lounge for a wee helicopter trip around Hong Kong. Erm – totally brilliant! Understated … well, still smiling about it!
1600 – head up to 28th floor to my favourite bar in HK – Felix – for a special cocktail .. I am not giving the name or the recipe BUT it’s my drink of the year! Mine, mine, MINE!!!!
Cocktails at mine tonight!!
(Thank you Lamey, Rita, Stella and Priscilla …)
