This is our first blog from foreign shores but it's going to be a quick one because we are soooooo tired. Not even sure what time it is though it is dark outside (Nathan Road, Hong Kong!) and the clock in the hotel room says 10.30. My watch says 2.30 but as we had no sleep to speak of last night we are ready to drop and I think sleeping all night shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The flight was fine, a slight delay of an hour because of some traffic control hitch. Once we contorted our limbs into the requisite tiny space it was clear that we weren’t going to sleep, so had a marathon film watching session instead. With the sunset into a pink and orange sea came our first few of HK, a few ragged tooth like islands then the neon glow of the city crammed into the gaps between the mountains. A landing quite like no other, splendid views; we were quite glad we weren’t landing at the old airport with a small strip extending into the harbour between the tall buildings- apparently quite hair raising!
Horrible coach trip to the hotel, high revving coach driver who enjoyed the hissing jolt of the air brakes every 20 seconds, between the traffic lights all the way up Nathan Road….blurgh…anyway well fed and ensconced in our hotel room…more news tomorrow. xxx
