we arrived in hong kong pretty knackered after the long haul flight and the time jump back 16 hours... so crashed in our extremely tiny room in Kowloon area of Hong kong....we latter got moved as it was pretty tiny a room. Next day we woke not sure wether it was 8 in the morn or night cos our room had no view and our body clocks were a bit screwed. Managed to get out and about and over the next couple days we packed in tonnes of sight seeing and hong kong has pretty vast changes one minnute you are in your box of a guesthouse room next you are in the prada store next in a slummy street getting hassled but vendors and all this time you are dwalfedby these giant skyscrappers then you pop out of the underground train out of all the madness into the most perfectly groomed chinnese garden with tranquil music and multi coloured carp and the most ornate buildings.....all in all a crazy place.
after four days we had done about everything so were glad to be heading to bangkok.....
its was only 2 and a half hour flight and a cheap taxi ride to Khao san rd and our hostle called New Joes which is dirt cheap but a great atmosphere kinda like dahab for those in the know.
so today we hit the Grand palace and that place is so over the top gold covered glitery and blows pretty much anyother place we have been away.
tonight is thai boxing if ants is feeling ok she has been pretty knocked out by a bit of the flu which is pretty draining in this heat.
well hope to see most of you soon
