We awoke quite early on Saturday morning and ended up ordering room service for breakfast as it was a little too long a wait before we'd get at Brisbane airport! Our Cathay flight up to Hong Kong had a stop in Cairns and overall was a pretty non eventful experience.We had about 3 1/2 hours to kill in Hong Kong airport and so worked our way from one end of the airport to the other trying all the lounges. We had a shower in one, some food in another and drinks ...

Our flight from Aberdeen to Heathrow was operating by Thomas Cook due to BA cabin crew strikes, we were not impressed by that idea but to be honest it was fine. The crew were nice, the bar was free and it made you feel like you were going on holiday!

We made our way to Heathrow around 1330 for a 1825 departure as we were keen to have our lunch in the Con...

There was also a new Qantas lounge which we gave a whirl.We got to our gate just at final call, where for some reason they were confiscating everyone's water, much to Ma...

Friday 26th DecemberAfter breakfast in the hotel we caught the MTR to Kowloon where we joined the Kowloon leg of the Big Bus Tour. It lasted around 1 hour and took in most of the sights. Next it was a walk along Avenue of the Stars before jumping on a Star Ferry back across the water to Hong Kong Island. As we had 48 hours to use the Big Bus tickets we thought it best we went straight on to the Stanley and Aberdeen leg of the bus tour. It was absolutely freezing ...
