Back at the hotel, we were treated to a 60 minute massage at the Mira hotel. Annie, my therapist, was brilliant and it was one of the best massages I've ever had.
And then it was time. We all wanted to stay, not least as the prospect of more snow in the UK was not particularly appealing, especially when compared to sunny 22 degrees...
We checked in in town (which is great, as you get rid of your luggage, before making your way to the airport). As our flight didn't leave until after 1am, we had another lavish dinner at the Skycity Nine Eagles golf course next to the airport. With planes passing every 5 minutes, I am not sure how enjoyable a game of golf really is here, but then again I've never played golf.
At the last minute, most of us got upgraded to business, with a few less lucky ones flying premium economy. Having been spoilt on the way out, the 'old' business class wasn't quite as spacious, but still fabulous, of course. I even fell asleep before take off...
And then it was all over. Even though we just stayed for a few days, we were able to see and do so much. It was such a great experience and I am very grateful that I was able to be part of the trip.
Bring on the next fam trip!
Hong Kong ist toll. Ich war auch schon 2x für 2-3 Tage dort und war jedes mal begeistert. Schön dass es dir auch so gut gefallen hat.
ReplyDeleteKomischerweise war ich bei meinem ersten Besuch vor etwa 4 Jahren ueberhaupt nicht begeistert. Lag zum groessten Teil sicher daran, dass es wahnsinnig heiss und schwuel war - aber ansonsten kann ich es mir nicht so recht erklaeren.
ReplyDeleteHast du denn immer 'nur' Zwischenstopp dort gemacht?
Ja, bei mir waren es bisher immer Zwischenstopps. Beim ersten mal war es übrigens auch extrem heiß und schwül und meinem Kreislauf ging es dabei gar nicht gut. Hab mich aber tapfer durch den Tag gekämpft, da ich schließlich nur kurze Zeit dort war und diese nicht im Bett verbringen wollte ;-)
