Hong Kong Day One (needed a new title!)

Pick up at 9.30am from Four Seasons at Shanghai (up there with the Sofitel in Xian as the best hotels so far) for my trip to the internataional airport and flight to HK.

A different guide (makes it my 5th guide) to escort me and make sure I'm in the right place at the right time, being the VIP I am you know!!

Flight uneventful, 3 seats to myself and an emergency exit to look after - treated myself to a glass of Chenin Blanc with my lunch - what decadence! Limo transfer to Intercontinental (dread to think how much it will be but it was so humid that trying to find the right bus etc just wasn't on my list of things to do) and a greeting by name by one of the staff (how swish is that?) and taken immediately to my room.

The MOST amazing view of HK Island in a picture window - needless to say many photos taken later that evening withthe light show.

More exploring (managed not to get lost this time!) and a little shopping ... For those Lazardians reading this I found the Mont Blanc shop and bought a leather case so my beautiful pen you gave me would be protected when I take it to SG. Quite fitting I thought.

Decided to spoil myself and have dinner in the hotel restaurant to celebrate tomorrow's itinerary free day! Fab dinner and just ever so slightly wobbly on the way back to my room ... sure no-one noticed ...
