And so the time has now come to return back to the cold and rain of England.  But first....an update on our last two days in The wonderful Hong Kong.Our first few hours were spent trying to find our bags and a way out of the airport.  It was an abysmal experience and I am not going to dwell on it here.  Needless to say, the procedure and assistance was, surprisingly, shocking.Once outside of the airport we easily found a cabbie who could drive us to our hotel ...

It sounds as though another Brit is involved so we are not overly worried for our safety at all.  We had a really relaxing day at sea, the weather turned a bit though.
