Well we have to confess to falling off the backpacker wagon somewhat in HK. Note to self - never go back to a place on a miniscule budget that you have previously visited with plenty of dosh three months beforehand.
We did go budget on the room - a 30 pound a night guesthouse/cupboard in Causeway Bay. Visiting some of our old haunts however was a bit painful on the wallet - Delaneys, The Canny Man, Dickens and even bumped into a piggie we met in Phuket in a bar in Lan Kwai Fong.
We caught up with John Koch (Hyder's Commercial Manager and old mate from Dubai and former travelling partner) a couple of times.
We managed to make it up the peak for the first time in many visits for either of us when you can actually see the harbour through the mist/smog.
A day trip to Macau on the Jetcat 1 hour trip was entertaining. We had "Portuguese" for lunch and a wander around the old town and museum. We also experienced the delights of Macau's casino buildings, some of which would even make Dubai's building look classy!
