I was in bed shortly after 10 with 2 alarms set which of course I won't need as I always wake up 5mins before the set time anyway but they an insurance policy. It was good to have gone out in the evening as I would have only endlessly faffed with the packing boiling down to the placement of some tiny inconsequential thing, so I was saved from that, I'll try and do this in the future.
By 6am I was up and checkout out and waiting by the E21 bus stop for the bus to the airport, the A21 I got from the airport goes a different route back. I'll put a general Hong Kong visitors guide up about Kong Kong soon for anyone blundering about the internet whose looking for the same information I've already found out, I find peoples blogs are often the best source of information as its people who have tried and tested something so its generally quite reliable.
By 7am I was at the airport even though the bus driver stopped at every stop except the passenger terminal so myself and another couple had to alight at one of the airport car parks before the speeding bus driver took us somewhere else. They were a nice couple on their way to Melbourne, the lady assured me not all drivers were like that! At check in I was relieved I did indeed have an isle seat, near the back of the plane so near the toilets and the bit of space need the back which is useful for stretching. Nothing much to report about the flight except it was endless and uncomfortable, I never find airline seats comfortable, my back starts hurting within the first hour and I don't recline them as its increases the pressure on the bottom of my back, instead I watched movies and documentaries.
It didn't take long to go through at the other end and coming into arrivals there was my dear brother waiting, how wonderful to be met at the airport.
The challenge now it to not get overwhelmed with the enormity of what lies ahead, whatever that is, where will I live, what will I do and how do I get there?
