It’s time to go home

Well this is our last day in Hong Kong and we leave tonight at about 1130 pm. The weather today was still grey but it only started to rain when we were looking for a taxi to take us to the Airport train station.

In the morning we roamed the streets and shopping malls which were quite interesting. In the Pacific Place Mall, there is one complete floor with more of the major Fashion Brands than you can wave a stick at, from the Chanel Shop to Armani to Salvatore Ferragarmo to shops and designers so famous that I have not heard of them.

The walk through Central at lunchtime was very busy. Most people in Hong Kong go for lunch and the eating places are full. We came across a fantastic food emporium called grEAT which had the most amazing selection of fish, meat, cheese, wine and a group of chefs making Sushi and Sashimi for lunch take-away. The prices were very high but so was the quality. There was nothing like this when we first arrived in Hong Kong.

We packed our bags and left the room around mid afternoon and then went for dinner at Dan Ryan’s Chicago Grill & Bar, where we enjoyed great steaks and a nice bottle of Californian wine.

Getting a cab was difficult for reasons of rain, but we caught the free bus and arrived at the Train Station for check in. During the check in process the girl looked surprised at the computer and then called somebody and we both thought, Oh No not offload. Anyway it was because she was concerned that our seats were not together and so she rang to check the change was possible for what looks like a full flight.

This Blog is being written whilst sitting in the Virgin Clubhouse in Hong Kong and we hope to leave on time.

Well this is the last BLOG from us on this amazing trip that we have had and we have both enjoyed it so much but now it is time to go home and assist in the final stages of the house development. Incidentally a mate of mine in Austin (Texas, USA) started his new house 6 weeks after we started and theirs is now finished. A mere 4500 sq ft house with 5 bathrooms, 6 bedrooms etc etc, where did we go wrong. Never, Never trust your builder.
