First day
We had a pretty eventless flight to Hong Kong. It was long, long, long, but otherwise not bad. We have certainly had way worse. I have to say, though, that I have only once before been as uncomfortable sitting on an airplane. We made the mistake of getting the first row of 3 seats in the middle (with 4 seats in front of us). That meant that our seats were narrower, as the tray table had to go in the arm rests and I couldn’t stretch out my legs due very well, due to the offset between the two rows.
Service on board was good, though, as was the transfer from the airport to the hotel (train + free shuttle bus). Finally we fell into bed at around 23:45 local time — and slept till about noon today (Monday, May 5). Now we are starving and will venture out to have some yummy food for lunch.
