Diary for New Zealand Adventure


Arrived in Hong Kong

2018-03-03

Having eaten at LHR airport on Friday evening, when we finally took off at 23:00 and were offered dinner and wine on the plane about midnight  we were too tired to eat it! Uneventful trip. We both managed to grab some sleep and I watched Paddington 2 for some light relief. After breakfast at 04:30am we landed at HK about 06:30. Weather very overcast but temperature 25C! Had taxi to Hotel Jen on the island, which took about 40 minutes passing lots of docks and high rise buildings. Hotel very nice with pool on 28th floor overlooking the harbour. Too tired to venture out so went to Malacca  restaurant at hotel. There was a raucous Lo Hei Chinese New Year in full swing so we were seated in the quieter Hibiscus room instead. I had a vegetable curry and Bernard had a Malaysian dish - both authentic local tastes. Now going to  bed at 2245.  8 hours ahead of UK. A good night’s sleep will set us up for sight seeing tomorrow, and hopefully some photos.
