For our last evening we had a little stroll around the village and Jayne bought some knick knackeries for the folks back home. As the local scran hadn't come up to scratch we decided on some Chinese food. We ended up in an authentic restaurant called Hong Kong 97, strange name but there you go. The food was very good, probably too good as it wasn't of the Egg Foo Yung variety you get back in Blighty, this stuff was proper Cantonese/Hong Kong cuisine and we would ...

It's been a bit funny getting up in the morning, one of us would get up go outside and come back saying it's still dark it must be early, go back to bed. Then we'd end up getting up a couple of hours later to bright sunshine and be surprised at how late it was.

The bloke in front us had a problem, his ticket had been issued with the wrong name on it, so he hadnt been allowed to board his flight.
