Day 1&2 7/8/11 to 8/8/11 - Hong Kong

London -> Hong Kong

Highlight

• Got to Heathrow very early and managed to buy all of Darko’s stuff.
• The Lounge was relatively busy, I tried to get a facial but they were already closed and only doing chair massage. The service was so bad no one even greeted me when I left.
• Ate a bit, but then had to up and go as transiting from B.
• Upper deck was fun. No one was sitting next to me so it was like my own little hub.
• They served me the wrong thing for dinner but it was quickly fixed.
• I didn’t manage to get much sleep because of the turbulence, I kept waking up and falling back to sleep.
• Watched Hanna and most of Kung Fu Panda 2.
• It was so quick to go through the airport, the longest wait was for my bag, which was still quick. The airport express was also very good.
• Had to walk a bit of a way to get to the Hotel, but check in was smooth.
• Room was very nice (no harbour view though), I got tea, fruit and a toy as welcome gift.
• Headed out to try to get a phone card and eat, went to a couple of shops to see if I could get a handbag.
• For some reason, walked into a glass door and smashed my front teeth.
• Couldn’t get it repaired as all the dentists were closed, so also cancelled all my dinner plans.
• After sorting out all the insurance and what to do the next day, went out to dinner. It was not as difficult as I thought to eat, but I stuck with cold stuff. Food was good but I was too stressed to enjoy.
• Couldn’t sleep at all,
