After our 3:30 am start, I could scarcely believe we were actually boarding Cathay Pacific only 10 minutes later that the scheduled departure time. No tornados or other things to delay us for 2 1/2 days…. So far at least.
As you probably know- being on planes is something I highly anticipate. I love plane food and eat it all, even the bits I am not usually allowed to.
The plane was a little smaller than I though it would be, but we had lots of leg room and marvelous entertainment.
I opted for the chicken and mushroom congee for breakfast as I haven’t ever had congee before. It was milder than I had imagined, but my imagination is pretty vivid and I still liked it.
Lunch was one of three choices and I picked the chicken stirfry. Yummitty yum!
Hong Kong was beautiful to see as we landed. We all craned our necks to look out of Kara’s window.
In the patches of the airport where the air conditioning is not great, it is obvious how humid it would be outside.
We have had several hours to rest up and explore the Hong Kong airport.
We wish there were free showers here, but have felt refreshed by seeing all the different foods and sights within the airport that this vibrant cultural city is proud to showcase.
We popped in to the Disney shop and scared ourselves by setting off the dancing, voice-activated Mickey Mouse and Minnie. Unfortunately Mickey was too close to Minnie and every time he danced he would push poor Minnie’s skirt up in a most un-Disney-like fashion!
Over and out for now- here’s hoping we get some sleep on the next, 12 hour leg
