Hong Kong airport
The flight from Taipei was short and uneventful.
I didnt eat anything as I was excited to eat a lot at Hong Kong airport.
I have 2.5 hours to eat as much as possible, GO!
First of all, the light was good and pollution low, so I took a photo of my plane, and many others, with the excellent mountains in the background.
Hong Kong must have been spectacular in the days before pollution. But I guess it kind of needs the tall buildings and neon as a contrast.
I headed to the Qantas lounge first, their showers are much nicer. It was strangely busy. Normally no one uses it as the Cathay Pacific first lounge has a full buffet.
This is all Qantas has.
I sampled some cold rolls and a dumpling with chilli sauce. Oh and some ice cream that I didnt photograph.
Oh shit, no wonder the Qantas lounge was busy. Im not slumming it in their business class lounge with their toasted sandwiches!
I better walk all the way to gate 63, about a kilometre!
I stormed along the moving walkways.
If all else fails....
I need not have worried, the full buffet is on offer at the Pier first class lounge.
Rare roast beef is the best. The scallop thing is good, the veal and pork meatball not so much.
There were several large cakes and tortes that no one had touched that werent pre cut into slices. I also was too afraid to ruin them. So I just had some fruit salad, chocolates, and a small piece of strange cake.
Thats it I think! I probably wont update this again unless something worthy happens on the flight back to Adelaide.
Thanks for reading!
