22nd May 2016


Hello everyone!
We've just got back from a lovely mini break / visa run to Hong Kong.   The journey there was smooth, we had to catch the early morning ferry (6.30am) Seatran to Koh Samui and jump in a taxi to the airport.  The flight was only 3 1/2 hours which went by pretty quickly.  I caught up on some good ole mind numbing Eastenders   :-D   We sailed though passport control, collected our luggage and caught a taxi to the 'Butterfly Hotel' on Prat, in Kowloon which was going to be home for the next four nights.
Our room
It was in a very convenient location.  Just a a few minutes of the MTR which was very speedy and efficient.   Hong Kong was very clean, not at all what I expected.  I found it particularly odd jumping into a lift to get to a restaurant, cafe, bar etc  ...so strange to see different themes as the lift doors opened and people exited.  I suppose when you're short on space, that's what you've got to do.

This photo was taken from the lift
Our first afternoon/evening there, we did a bit of exploring.  Luckily for me, I had Simon and Simon had a phone that the hotel provided which had a good guide of  Hong Kong, places to visit, how to get there etc.

Some photo's of our Hong Kong experience.
