We made it to
Hong Kong. We left
Wellington yesterday afternoon on a Quantas flight to
Sydney. It's hard to imagine that it's almost a four hour flight between
New Zealand and Australia.

Due to
the earthquake I wasn't able to buy any
post cards in Wellington. Fortunately I was able to pick some up at the airport, along with stamps, and managed to get them in the post. We had a couple of big aftershocks while waiting in the lounge. But obviously nothing that prevented us from flying out.

Australia has been on the list of travel destinations for a while but I have to admit that it hasn't been at the top of the list. Well I managed to get a photo of the Sydney Opera House as we flew in and it's sparked more desire to go.
Maybe in 2018.

After an almost four hour layover we boarded our +9½ hour Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong.
We arrived just after 5 AM.
Thank goodness we had an early morning checkin at our hotel.

After long hot showers and a change of clothes we immediately headed out to explore the city.
It's a great city but it will make you feel quite small and insignificant. Land is at a premium here so all of the buildings are built tall.
We have three full days to explore the city and we have a day trip planned for
Macau. Now to
get out and explore and, of course, to enjoy the Cantonese food.
