Hing Kong Bound

Up at 6am for a taxi to the airport at 7:30am and it was coming down stair-rods. I got to Hanoi airport no problems and checked in and then went to find some way to 'waste' my Vietnamese Dong I had left. What I had left wasn't worth changing, amazingly I found a shop selling Lofthouse's Fisherman's Friend's – in Vietnam, packed in Malaysia, made in Fleetwood! They were just what I needed to clear the cold symptoms for the flight. The flight was only a couple of hours an left around lunch time but with the time difference I arrived early evening in Hong Kong and getting through Customs ok this time I found the Shuttle bus to the Hotel and waited for it at the arrivals hall. The Coach was really posh only 3 seats across and all leather and wood seating. Once I checked in to the hotel I took a walk out to the local shopping are which was about 5mins walk from the hotel. The temperature was a little cooler than Hanoi but at least it wasn't raining. The streets we heaving and it was like a mad Saturday on Market St, Manchester but a little more eclectic than the almost sterile Singapore. Back near the hotel I found a supermaket and bought some snacks and a couple of beers and headed back to the room to relax.
