I thought that I would not have much to say since the last blog, because everything seemed to be going so well. However according to Bev, if HE had planned the whole trip nothing would go wrong!!! He forgets that I ran everything by him first, before we booked. (he is still breathing -- just!!!!) I don't want to have a moan but really that's how I feel! My day started ok. I found a hair dressers that could cut my hair and someone to do my nails! (the nails are ok but never as good as Jeanetts!) it was pissing down with rain when I got out, so much for the hairdo!! Went to pick up the dress I had made, no time to try it on as we had to check out by 12, got back to the hotel and then tried it on!!!! Disaster, I hate it not one part fitted correct, in fact the only good thing is they never trimmed the seams so I should be able to take it apart and start again!! Guess I will have to find something else for the Christmas do!!!! Bev was quite agitated when I got back (haveing an moment!!) he had got a print out of the hotel bill to make sure we had enough cash as at this stage we only had 2 days left and we didn't want to get left with to many HKD. Out of the mini bar we had 1 beer and 2 bottles of water. NOW to buy a bottle of water in the shop cost 8HKD, about 65p, we drank gallons of the stuff!! The hotel charged us 38hkd per bottle, about £3.50 each!!!. Of course he sent me down to argue the case as we had bought water to replace what was in the fridge!! They were taking the piss just like the weather. Well couldn't be bothered to argued, paid the bill and never left a tip!! Jumped in a cab to take up to the next hotel where we start the china trip on Monnnnnn- Tuesday!! There is now a tunnel linking the 2 islands together, which cost $20 toll. The taxi asked for $40 to pay for the return trip, he didn't get a tip either. Now we are here and yes they are expecting us, for 3 nights not 2!! It seems that the china trip starts on Tuesday. Oh well Bev will have to put up with one more day surrounded by shops an the Jade market at the end of the road, muuum might do some Christmas shopping!!!!
