Oh my goodness the front page has all the instructions in chinese, can't under stand a thing so hope that its only while we are here, it didn't have Indian words the last few weeks! Oh well we will see. Let me know on FB if you are receiving all this in Chinese, that would be funny!!!! Before I tell you about our last few days I must say that in the last hotel there was no wifi in the rooms, only in the restaurant, they closed that at 5 pm!!!!! I felt suddenly completely out of control, no contact with home and no way to research our next hotel. I was like a bear with a sore head, then Bev had an "episode " as we now call it, couldn't walk so took him out "to walk the streets" in his wheel chair. this was the better option to sitting in the box they called a room!! We were both hot and tired. As most of you know, I am half deaf, Bev was mumbling so every time he tried to talk to me he had to turn around, which made pushing the chair hard work!!! If you hear about the mad woman shouting "for god sake keep still" in the streets in hong kong, that was probably me, gave up in the end and went back to our box!!! The days have stared to all blend into one. Thursday we traveled all day back from Sigeru, got to the airport for 10.30, took off at 2.20 am. Food an hour later, slept an hour then landed in Bangkock. Stayed on the plane for 1 hour, (while the cleaners cleaned around us!!!) (which felt odd,) took off had breakfast (are you keeping up with me,what time/day is it?) slept again, except Bev kept waking me so that I didn't miss the food or to help him to the loo! Landed in Hong Kong with no hotel booked. !! Keep up! We have been having wheelchair help at the airport, which has proved invaluable but quite funny. With traveling Bev gets a bit stressed, so I sit him in the chair and load him up with the hand luggage, well it saves me carrying it and it makes him feel "helpfully"!! Of course we ask for the help at the other end as well. 9 out of 10 times we don't kneed it getting off, however, as I explained to Bev, some chap is banking on our tip to feed his kids today so having booked it we must use it,(but the real reason is that we get taken through passport control much quicker! Express lane no waiting!) with this also in mind, if Bevs legs are fine, I tell him to limp, (well there has been a few times where have needed it!) there is also a reason why Bev is not on the stage, he's not very good at "putting it on" hence it being funny him trying it limp!!! Now, on getting to Hong Kong a rather large lady was waiting for us to get off, she almost ran us from one end of the airport to the other, finally leaving us to sit and catch our breath with a cup of coffee , (what day is it?) over the coffe the iPad came out to book a hotel. HK is such a busy place, the cost of a Saaturday almost doubles the rate, even so most of the places we looked at were fully booked. We decided to go back to the reservation desk and book there, we booked for one night in a hotel Called Silva Seaview (you could only see the sea if you hung out of the window ,19 floors up and strech your neck around a few sky scrapers!!!!) and ended up in a room the size of a shoe box!!!! Couldn't unpack, not enough room to open the suite case!! If it had been cheep then ok but it was £77.00 and no breakfast, I hated it. So today we paid for breakfast and sat there for best part of two hours searching the net for a decent hotel, this was the only place the wifi was free!! Finally found somewhere with a room available for 7 nights and not at £77! Oh god I though what is it going to be like, anyway We booked in after lunch and felt at home immediately, I am definatly a 5* lady. The drive to the hotel is another story for another day, we are now going out to eat. Have you worked out which day it is yet!!
