Inching homewards

Bangkok (Thailand) to Hong Kong (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China) 

K hadn't been to Hong Kong since 1981 and M has never been so it seemed a good option for a final stopover on the way home, especially as it's was only a two and a half hour flight from Bangkok.

The hotel were very nice when we checked out early and gave us coffees and some take away breakfast while we waited for our Grab to arrive, then it was off to the airport and another couple of hours in the lounge.

At the Hong Kong end we exited the airport into more heat and humidity. The red taxis waiting outside all looked pretty old, nevertheless we jumped into one after grabbing a bit of paper with the estimated fare to Tim Sha Tsui in Kowloon (as it turned out that the estimate was very close).

It was early evening by the time we checked in to our hotel, so after settling in we briefly explored the immediate area, around the harbour and Star Ferry terminal, before having dinner at a (believe it or not) Irish pub!
