Arriving in Hong Kong

---

1-2 Nov 06: London to Hong Kong

Having come very close to the wire in finding a tenant for our flat, the powers of good fortune shone down on us again as our new tenant (in addition to taking our flat in the nick of time), also happened to be a BA pilot who managed to get us an upgrade to BA business class for our outbound flight to Hong Kong...!Having left Lovedean for Heathrow (very reminiscent of a similar journey made in 1997...) we were soon ensconced in our flat bed with champagne and the obligatory Hello magazine (ahhem... sorry, had to be done). The flight was fantastic and soon we were in a taxi on our way to the Novotel Hotel in Hong Kong which was a fabulous wedding present from two friends of ours. Our room overlooked the harbour and we made the most of our only evening in Hong Kong by hopping on the Star ferry (one of the final passengers to use the old Star ferry terminals) to seek out cocktails in Aqua - an awesome bar in Kowloon overlooking the harbour. A great start indeed!!
