We got up a little earlier today as we needed to pack
our bags ready for the off later in the afternoon and this had been completed
around 10.30 before heading downstairs for a well-earned cup of tea and a light
breakfast.
We called a cab to the house and headed off to Hang Hai
MTR for the 45 minute train ride in to Central where we got off at Admiralty
Staion, one stop early, to do a little shopping before lunch.
We arrived at the Hong Kong Club and went to your pre
booked table at 12.30 and enjoyed the buffet with an amazing cut of beef joint
which was so good but we could not manage more. After the deserts we caught the
train back to Hang Hai and then a Taxi back to the house and found that that
they have taken the Audi Q7 back to the repair yard but according to maid it
took them bloody ages manoeuvring the car back and forth before they could get
in the trailer. The wine we had purchased as a thank you present had also
arrived and so we could leave our farewell mark.
The driver appeared duly at 16.00 and fifteen minutes
later were en route to the Airport, by leaving a bit earlier we would avoid the
rush hour traffic, and so we arrived at the Terminal just after 17.00 for a
19.20 flight and so tons of time. We went to the lounge and had some nibbles
and then boarded for our ten and half hour flight to Auckland. Dinner on board
was very good indeed but the flight was very full which did surprise me a
little until I realised it was a code share with five other airlines.
Hong Kong has changed so much since last time we
visited with so much money spent on roads infrastructure what with new tunnels,
flyovers, underpasses and highways its almost baffling and we both felt that it
is somewhere we like to go again but not know on the definite to do list as it
seems to have lost its heart.
