Turned into a long day, the flight left Bali over 2 hours late, so it was 10.45pm when we landed in Hong Kong, and way past midnight by the time I found my hotel, I arrived drenched in sweat, it was still over 30c at 11.30pm according to a temp guage on a building and I believed it. I threw down my bags and threw of my saturated clothes and crashed into bed, too tired to even make tea.
I woke to the noise of a city, it comes as a shock to be back in the real world, I headed to Central and the Landmark to check out the Mysore class for tomorrow,Tiana has invited me, a very helpful person took me up to the 5th floor and introduced me to Hortario who was teaching this morning, though they were just finishing up when I got there. Ashtanga is a small world, Hortarion knows Dena and Cary, we had a nice chat, so will be there in the morning. Next stop was MIX cafe/bakery for a danish and tea, the hotel breakfast was crap, apart from the 7 (small) cups of tea I had.
Hong Kong is very hot and unbelievably crowded, I wandered around Central then took the Star Ferry back to Kowloon for a doughnut and juice picnic in the park. Had a break then went up the Peak Tram, though the views were a bit hazy and the sunset was a non event thanks to the clouds. Its tacky and very commercial, but fun. I am blogging while waiting for the 8pm lightshow, that should be fun. I have walked miles today, some by design, but many because of all the bloody under and over passes you have to negotiate to get anywhere in this city. Though I love the Star Ferry, it’s a bargain at just HK$1.70 (about 10p in real money), to cross the harbour.
