HongKong Thursday 20th February

Posted byvwhitesidePosted inUncategorized

Breakfast at 6am then off to Sydney Airport for our 9 hour flight to Hong Kong.

We said farewell to Alex and the 14 of us boarded on time.
The plane was a bit empty!
Hong Kong baggage collection.
55 million passengers pass through Hong Kong Airport every year.
Not many of them are travelling today!
We have never been in such an empty airport.
Our new guide Daniel first issued face masks then guided us to the coach.
We are really wearing them to avoid the disapproval of other people.
Everyone here seems to wear a mask
We all had our temperatures taken on arrival at the hotel. I thought Daniel said the hotel occupancy rate was 80%; he actually said 8%!
The real problem is the ban on travel from China to Hong Kong
On the way back to our room after eating with John and Pam in the hotel’s Italian/American restaurant. 3 other patrons in the restaurant.

8 of the 14 of us will go on a 4/5 h tour tomorrow. Thank heavens we don’t need to leave until 0930. It has been a long day, we were up at 0445 this morning and although it is only 9.30pm now we know it is half past midnight in Sydney.
