Here we are at Heathrow!!!
Well finally making progress. After missing connecting flight at heathrow. Due to 1 hour delay thanks to BA. The upside is that we managed to get all our luggage checked in without paying excess baggage £1300, which was quoted at Manchester. We had 120kg for the both us allowed, including mountain bike.
One hour till we fly to HK. Off to get currency from Bureau de Change.
Cheers

We flew with Cathay Pacific(Excellent service)!!!
In Hong Kong now. First impression great use of little space. People are friendly, helpful and kind. Was at Temple Road street market til 1.00am shopping.
The technology here is very advanced. Took me 15 minutes to switch on the lights last night. This was not due to beer. Staying at the Renaissance Harbour View, great views!!!!!
Jet lag and travelling catching up. Joanne won't get out of bed. I am in Internet cafe with coffe in hand. Can't work out internet in room to advanced.
Bye for now!!
