London

Arrived here at 4:40 AM London time. We took advantage of the British Airways Club and had a nice shower and breakfast. Went down to the Transportation Information booth and purchase a ticket for the "TUBE" for the week. This is the underground train. We arrived at the Ceasar Hotel after 1 hour ride from Heathrow Airport. We are on the Bayswater side of London. Weather is nice , summer temperatures in London between 18 - 25 C. We were very tired yesterday and after lunch at the The Bayswater Arms pub, 3 beers, a Bombardier, a 1664 and a?, we wentback to the hotel and slept from 3 PM to 3 AM London time. We have gotten an early start this morning and are having breakfast at 6:30 AM. See you later.

Hong Kong

It is Sunday night and we are at the Hong Kong Airport waiting for our departure to London at 11:15 PM. We have had an amazing 2 days in this beautiful city. Arrived here Friday night. The city lights are impressive and have taken several pictures. Very impressed by the cleanliness of the city and the friendly people. The weather has not co-operatedto do a lot of touring but we have managed to see enough of this place to want to come back again in the future. We attended a concert by the Hong Kong symphony last night. The music was great although we did not understand the soprano. The food so far has been outstanding. There is thousands of places to shop. We often think about our nephew Pablo and family because they loveto s shop and they would have a great time here.

The flight tonight will take 12 hours and will arive in London at 6:00 AM. We'll write again this coming week from London.
