Friday 23 September 2011 Our flight was OK although I had difficulty getting comfortable and therefore didn't sleep too well. I took a half a sleeping pill but this didn't seem to help. Kev had no trouble however and slept the entire journey! We lost about 6 hours in time and most of Thursday on the trip so were hoping to sleep well. We arrived in Hong Kong a little ahead of schedule and made our way through the formalities, picked up our bags and head...

Wednesday 21st September We got up this morning and packed our bags and left a lot of stuff in the hotel room that we had been carrying around for ages. Bloody hell our bags are heavy. We went for coffe and croissants at our usual café and then walked back to the hotel to check out and leave our bags at reception. We ordered a taxi for 2.30pm and went for a walk to the Old Town where we had lunch. We walked back along the Boulevard des Anglaise and sat ...

Well when we got to the car park our car wasn't where we had left it!! The taxi driver who could speak no English suddenly threw up his hands...

Saturday 17th September Once again it's moving day once again and our last day with the car as we were to return it to the airport at Nice. The trip from San Remo to Nice didn't even take one hour but getting to our hotel was another story. We didn't have a map of Nice only the internet map of the hotel and streets surrounding it. We had to ask three times as to where we were and it's good to be back in France and just be able to get by with the language. Anyw...
