Possibly the most interesting Boxing Day i’ve ever had. If you can call it a day that is. We left London at 9pm on Christmas Day and after 12 hours in the air (watching District 9 and The Time Travelllers Wife) landed in Hong Kong. At 4pm.With 4 hours to kill we went for a walk up the enormous connecting tunnel between the east and west terminals (I tried uploading a photo but just couldn’t get it to work, sorry!) and succeeded in finding some great chinese food. Dumplings, Pork Katsu escalope and Noodle soup for a rousing HKD 66 (£5.50) which aside from being very welcome also proceeded in exhausting me. 4 hours sleep on the first leg and food to digest don’t mix too well. So off to the airport lounge we scuttled. Result. An amazing massage chair for a good 20 minutes session and then a nice long shower. How welcome is that! Especially when there’s another 12 hours of flying to go. Its now 8pm. Here i now sit waiting for the gate to open, drinking a mixture of a coke, a beer and a bottle of water while the wife is off showering! Next post coming from New Zealand…
