Hong Kong and seeing Sue again...

After a meal and a walk, we got quite a good sleep for our first night here. Sue sent sms message at 7:30am to say she was in her hotel room, showered and was hungry. So we were up and out with her within the hour.

We had a good and busy day. We found a tailor for Sue. She is getting some shirts and pants made. All shirts from beautiful Egyptian cotton and pants in an easy wash wool.

Then it was a bit of a look around Kowloon, lunch in Mongkok, a stroll through the markets there, back to the tailor for a fitting, night harbour cruise, dinner on the mid-levels at a tapas restaurant then up to have a foot massage before getting back to our hotel a little before midnight.

Unfortunately I did not get to sleep until after 3am. I guess the jetlag is getting me. It is bucketing down tropical rain here today. I am pleased we did so much yesterday as we may just take it easy here today. Sue bought a bottle of Mandarin vodka coming out of the USA so we may have a couple of those for lunch. Our plans otherwise is to pick up all Sue's clothes being made at 5pm. We then hope to go up to the Peak lookout to show Sue the view and possibly dinner at one of the restaurants there.

We all leave here tomorrow. Sue flying out at 4pm and Mark and I dont leave until close to midnight. Cross my fingers we get some sleep before arriving home the next day.
