Arrival!
We made it!! Flight went surprisingly quick – in no small measure down to the wonders of the V-port! Films and tv galore, etc. Not so much sleep unfortunately …
First impressions of Hong Kong are good. The skyline is incredible, even through jet-lagged eyes! Weather was pants yesterday (rain) but sun is shining today.
After a night of 4* luxury (including a free ‘deluxe’ upgrade) we have just moved into the infamous ‘Chungking Mansions.’ The name is misleading – Chunking Prisons might be more appropriate! We happened upon it last night and vowed never to stay there, but alas things always look better in the light of day …
Currently abusing some free internet in a shop so must dash. Better blog and photos to follow shortly.

Glad you arrived ok! We also stayed at some similar youth hostel in some ‘mansion’ on Nathan Road – a very ironic title! I also enjoyed the good old v-port on my way to China, its AMAZING!
Keep safe, loving the blog, fab way of keeping everyone updated

Hi Jordan and Anna, glad you arrived safely and at least had one night of luxury! I made the mistake of looking up the “mansions” and really wished I hadn’t!! HK looks amazing, good to see you and Anna in the photo even if it is only three days since you left.
Look after each other and keep safe, love to you both,
Mum and Dani xxxx
