Day 75 – Magic Hour is here again

0530 – Desperate to catch the sun-up, I got up a wee bit too early! What a sunrise though! Spectacular!

0800 – Head to the Peninsula spa for a treatment … something to do with an exfoliation and a mudpack.

1030 – A REAL treat! A screwdriver with Johnny Chung. JC has been at The Pen for over 50 years!!! NO JOKE – 50 YEARS! In 1953, Clarke Gable was staying here while filming “Soldier of Fortune” when JC was a barman, Gable asked for a screwdriver… and JC handed him a tool! Gable taught Johnny how to make the cocktail and he has been making them – albeit part-time ever since. He made me one! What an honour! He’s made my day.

1300 – Head over to The Intercontinental to meet with Carol Klein – old school, excellent PR. There are over 400 rooms here and just under 100 suites, there is a Nobu AND an Alain Ducasse “Spoon”. It’s totally food! The hotel also has the largest and most expensive suite in town – US$12,000 for a 1-room Presidential Suite – with own pool and butler called Rambo!
Watched “Magic Hour” – lights and everything followed by the Sound & Music show – buildings “singing”! FAB!

A long day and it's only just finished…
