It was really exciting as Jennifer sorted out all the laundry as we have been unable to do much in the last couple of weeks and stocks were low. We had read that there was a laundry just a few minutes away where you could take in first thing in the morning and collect later in the day and we tried to use Goole Maps to guide us but perhaps due to all of the high buildings perhaps there was no signal and it getting lost. In the end we had to get a map from the Hotel and then located it quite quickly. At 12.30 we handed it over and the Chinese lady said ‘ready at 4 p,m, great we thought.
From there we headed to the MTR to purchase our Oyster Cards and then headed off to Central and the Hong Kong Club where Noel wanted to sign on to allow us to use the club over the next week. It also must be noted that Noels hair over the last week has grown and he was looking a bit of a tramp and so shortly after signing in we checked to see if the barber was working today and were lucky to make an appointment for 15.00 with Jimmy the longstanding hair dresser.
We then had 90 minutes to kill and so went to the club Bowling Alley Bar for a beer and lunch and had a really good meal, Jennifer had the Lincolnshire pork sausages with mash and onion gravy and Noel had the Grilled liver with mash and peas, Oh peas he cried!!! The food was really excellent as usual and the cost for this plus two chardonnays and one beer was less than £ 30.00. By this time it was about 4 pm when we left the club and we needed to do some shopping for dinner snack for tonight and also we needed to collect the laundry and also Noel wanted to buy a computer mouse mat and we had the address of the Mongkok Computer Building where the numerous sellers of everything computer you can think of. We found what e wanted after getting a little bit lost twice but this is easy as there people everywhere. Mongkok has the world record of being the most densely populated in the world and it certainly looked like it this Saturday. The main road through Mongkok is Nathan Road and no doubt to stop people crossing over where they should not they have put a barrier down the middle of the road and so the cross over we had to walk a long way, the locals of course know better than us on this.
We watched a film we have seen before called the Pianist, its a hard watch but well made by Polanski. And so to bed.
