So then, the journey comes to an end. Apologies for not putting anything up over the last couple of weeks but Hong Kong was a bit crazy and Bangkok was well…..Bangkok. I’ll write a bit about HK (with input from Jenny obviously) and then do something proper to finish everything off when I get back.
So I got to the hotel a few hours after Dad went for a shower and then wandered on down to the lobby to find him…..a bit strange seeing people, I was actually quite nervous on the plane! All good though and was awesome to catch up. Jenny arrived a couple of hours after me…looking slightly dishevelled but in good spirits after her 16 hour journey.
So in short Hong Kong is an awesome place, the famous skyline is definitely as cool as it looks in the photos. We wandered round the key areas over a couple of days and by night I was forced to eat large substantial meals full of rich food as I was apparently looking too thin……not sure about that but there you go!
Jenny and I went out on Wednesday night and chaos obviously ensued. I’ll write more about it later on but we made some new Chinese friends who kept plying us with drinks, getting us to mime on stage and in one slightly more boring case get accosted by one of the groomers for the Spanish Olympic Equestrian Team.
I’m writing this from the airport at Dubai, another 2 hours until the final leg. Seems like a strange thing to say but at the moment I don’t feel as though it has been 6 months, but then you think back to a city near the top of the year and I can barely remember it.
More thoughts in a few days
