Ankunft in Hong Kong

After your dear girls (Isabella, Theresa and Pia) took us to the airport in Munich and kissed us goodbye, we started the 18 hour journey. First we flew to London Heathrow where we changed the plane to destination: Hong Kong.

As our flight from Munich to Hong Kong was already by half and hour delayed we had doubts that the slightly chaotic cargoteam from airport heathrow would manage to transfer our luggage correctly and in time....
From London to HK we flew with Virgin Atlantic and to be honest, I was impressed by the excellent service + superior movie/music/games/tv series selection!!! 12,5 hours flight did not seem in enough to cover the most interesting movies. Unfortunately Fabian's screen or remote control did not work so he had to relocate and squeeze in between two amazingly huge asian guys... or suffer without any entertainment medium. (He chose the first option).
My neighbour was though smaller and thinner but an elderly chinese lady who spent the whole flight coughing, sneezing, burbing and sniffing (i even offered a tissue which was declined by her). During the flight I prepared myself already for a hospital visit, as I was certain that she definitely had the "bird flue". When we finally arrived in Hong Kong it was already 6 o clock in the evening (local time). Hostel is nice and clean but rather like a family hotel than a party hostel.... hmmm
After the check in we went for our first real Chinese dinner. As it was the first evening we chose a small familyrun restaurant which had pictures of all dishes on its walls. Never the less fabian continued to be suspicious!! According to him, it is definitely possible that I ordered dumplings fill with dog... which I highly doubt though do not mind :-)

Afterward we went for a walk in the neighbourhood to check out the market and shops. Excellent selection though probably not always a hundred percent quality!!!

Today we started the sightseeing! Bus tour, peak of HK to have a good view over the city and the port, food, strawling around....
nice but exhausting!!! for my rotterdam shipping friends: check out this amazing view with vessels!! for the others who are not to interested in ships: at the peak you ought to declare your love to who ever you want.... i took a picture for all of you ;-) (ps: neither fabi nor me declared anything to anyone... opportunity missed) But for the cheesy romantics among you... photoshop yourself into this picture for the next valentines day :-)

Regards from HK
Astrid + Fabian
