Days 62 & 63 - Hello from Hong Kong!


A Room with a View

Yes - we are back on the road - 4 weeks this time - 2 in Honkers and 2 in Tokyo.

Saturday:

A blur. Picked up by crazy Bim in his cab. Took rather longer than usual to get through the traffic to T1 due to the loonies at the airport and finally arrived on BA 25 - HK bound.

On board, nothing worked! No TV, No Radio .. No Internut! I had to read and listen to my ipod for most of the journey. Rubbish BA.

OK - a Hindu meal includes chicken but not a KitKat or milk/cheesecake as that is deemed inappropriate! I had to have a word with the purser - who to his credit did send 4 KK's over to me...

The flight is LONG .... of course, a bed helps ... only just though ...

Sunday:

Arrive at midday! its SOOO humid that i sweated three pints before i even left the airport. the 40 minute journey to the centre of town was a wee depressing .. the "smog" is blocking the sun.

I am now on the 11th floor - The Plateau at the Grand Hyatt ....

My suite - look at the photo: 3 things to note 1) harbour view 2) futon 3) HUGE glass bath behind the bed! SUPERB!


Spa Suite

Tom x 3 and tim are well and happy downstairs in the main hotel as the Plateau is a residential spa & there's only room for me here! i am quite tired but we have a meeting now .. then bed...

The sun is setting over the harbour ... the lights have come on and HK is alive!! whoo-hoo!!

Song of the Day: So Lonely (Police)

Weather: cough! cough!

Weight: lets see tomorrow!
