Thursday 13th/Friday 14th August
London/Hong Kong
Left home about 11.00 AM and drove to purple parking in torrential rain took a bit longer than normal but had allowed extra time. Transfer from parking to terminal five Heathrow took about half an hour. Too early to book in cases so found some sandwiches and drink and free wi-fi and just waited! 3:40pm booked in cases before clearing security and a bit more wandering. Boarded the plane on time but we were delayed as connection from Paris delayed, it was nearly an hour late taking off. Flight was good had meal before settling down for a few hours sleep, watched a film, time went better than I thought it would, what with meals, films, sleep and reading it went by quickly (12.5 hours)
Very good, bit of noise from the Centrum one night (party night) but generally good, air con did not get cold enough for us, but did work, tap broke but was very quickly fixed ( 5 mins ). Balcony really lovely and enjoyed sail aways from it. Bathroom adequate as always a bit small but perfectly formed. Cabin steward excellent, got me English tea as I did not like any others.
