Back in Hong Kong

Yesterday afternoon we boarded a Dragon Air flight in Phuket with destination Hong Kong. We are on our way home. The flight was the flight from hell (almost). I ended up in a middle seat (which I hate). To add to the pain we got a family with 3 noisy kids and a nanny in front of us, and next to me was the grandmother. She was coughing almost all the way - as if she was coughing up her lungs - and blowing her nose. So I spent the flight with my head under the blanket. I was afraid of whatever bug it was that she suffered from. She really should have been waring a mask!

After being directed round in circles at the Hong Kong airport in an effort to find the Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge, we finally found it and were told we would be thrown out at 12.30! That ticked us off even more. However, we found a "generic" lounge (which of course was NOT free of charge). We decided to take a cubicle each and sleep for 6 hours, as our flight is not until later this afternoon. We had breakfast and now we are back at the Cathay Pacific lounge. Kim is asleep on a couch.

We will be leaving this afternoon, Saturday, and will be back Saturday morning. Yes, Saturday all the way :-)
