From Hong Kong

I'm updating this blog from the Cathy lounge in Hong Kong.

So far so good. I've just had a shower and am sitting here with a nice glass of Merlot.

If all goes according to plan we should be in Frankfurt early Tuesday morning.

Then we have the familiar Europcar experience of "Oh you booked a car with a trailer hitch, how very interesting. Please have a coffee and come back later".

We'll see, maybe it will be different this year.

As we were sitting in the Qantas lounge in Adelaide (after checking in), Pete got a phone call asking if he was on his way to the airport, as check-in was about to close!!

The taxi ride to the airport was another story..........

Luggage on our knees, fuel light flashing, lots of red lights, and rarely less than 10 kph above the speed limit.

Only eight more sleeps

Yesterday we had a "Green and Gold" Party at the Adelaide Soaring club to say goodbye and good luck to club members Peter Temple and Graham Parker who will be flying overseas for Australia in the coming months.

Peter will be supported by Club members Mandy Temple, Andrew Wright and Alex Wallis. Whilst Graham will have Mark Morgan from Waikerie to help him.

We had a good turn out and were entertained by Tom Leech and Dave Lawley with their guitars.

A big thank you to Terry Cubley who organised the evening and to Titch who catered for everyone.
