Jet lagged again, so up
in plenty of time to take advantage of that 'all you can eat until you feel you
have got your money' breakfast and then fill up a taxi with all our bags,
squeeze in and off to Hong Hum Station.
No problem with tickets
and train left on time and, no surprise arrived on time. Let's see Mr Johnson
and Mr Crow do the same this summer in London.
Met Jane and Graham at
the station and look forward to sharing the week with them.
Sadly no hotel car at
other end so it's hop in a taxi time again
Arrive at hotel. Check
in to find there is a bath in the room, not en-suite, but actually in the room.
Seems our hotel is a
'Recreation Hotel' with a spa that I am suddenly not allowed to visit. After
all the travelling you would think JA would be more considerate of me getting a
message.
Anyway it's only a
five-minute walk over the Pearl River to Shamian.
Found a nice restaurant
opposite the tennis club. The girl at door is impressed with JA as she asks
about a table, but bursts out laughing when her reply is totally above our
head.
Even better we are the
only westerners in a very large busy restaurant and four different people come
over to try to understand that we want a bottle of water for DR, they even chat
to her in fluent Cantonese expecting her to dig us out of the hole.
Classic.
We end up being brought
a pot of hot water.
