Here we are! Hong Kong!
After a long-ass flight from Heathrow we landed about an hour ago in Hong Kong airport (to +34 degree weather!).
The flight was brilliant, loadsa legroom, little TVs in the chairs and pretzels (it's the little things that make the difference...) Sleepy Kels had a good 4 hours so she's bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and i slept for the whole journey, or near as dammit.
As we came in to Hong Kong, little islands began to sprout up as if from no-where and you really get the feeling that we're doing something cool.
I'd been warned about the run way, but if you can imagine landing on a runway, with the sea 5 foot from the tarmac on both sides, it was a bit of a clenched bum moment. But the pilot did his thing , so we can do ours!
First stop, smoking lounge. Again, the little things...
Then off to see how many pints we can fit in until our flight to Bangkok, gotta kill 5 hours somehow! $300 a pint ($HK anyway...) We aren't in real money anymore.
Everyone we've met has been very friendly so far, but seriously, we ain't in Kansas anymore.
Be the last update for a couple of days, it's time to settle and work out where the heck we should go next!!!
Love to all

Wow, you have changed my mind about traveling in Asia. It looks like a go.
