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.

  1. Oh dear, not even out of Oz and the stressors continue (taxi ride)! In fact, not even to the airport. Let's hope that arrangements in Europe work better so you can get to the comp stress free and ready to roll.

  3. that's better Peter, the front of the scoring list looks a lot closer now. Nice flight. Some tricky weather again by the look of it, must be bad to catch Tobi and Suchanek and the Poms.
