After 2800 kilometres we left OZ

We had a slow start this morning while we sorted out our suitcases for air travel. On the way down in the lift for breakfast we noticed that the clocks were still wrong by one hour. We knew that the clocks were changing around the world this weekend and were now worried that we had got up too early but we were OK.

However we arrived at the Airport about 12:15 and noticed that clocks there were also showing 11:15, Great for an Airport to have the wrong times shown everywhere. We understand that Queensland never changes it’s clock, see earlier Blog, but it would also appear that either NSW won’t change when other states change but the doorman at the Hotel explained that it was only Sydney that would not toe the line. However nobody seems to have told the computers that control the Government Clocks. All very confusing.

The Virgin flight left on time and we arrived in Hong Kong early along with many other flights so immigration was packed and very slow compared with my past experience of visiting this place many times.

We took the train to Hong Kong Island and arrived at the Hotel around 22:45 local, just in time to have a cup of tea and go to bed.
