Smallest runway in the world...

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
