7th May, Heathrow Airport en route to Rome - time 6.30am.
Just arrived from Hong Kong after a very comfortable flight courtesy of BA and Frequent Flyer points in Business Class. Unfortunately you can very quickly become accustomed to travelling this way. Flat out sleep, loads of room. In fact there were only a few passengers in the cabin.

Brush with celebrity in Hong Kong Business class lounge for you 'The Bill' watchers - Jack Meadows (don't know his real name), was sitting just near us.

Hong Kong was just great and we packed a lot into one day. We decided to do our own thing and using a very good map (!) found our way to all sorts of places. Transport options were many and very cheap. We took the heritage Star Ferry from KOwloon where we were staying, to Hong Kong Island, then the Peak Tram to the Peak - way up in the clouds (by the way HOng Kong is like walking around in a sauna) which came and went. We spent quite a bit of time walking around to all the vantage points with the incredible views of the city below, the outlying islands and the mainland to the north.
