Flight … what Flight?

Well, today has been quite an adventure… so where to start? Yesterday we booked our shuttle to the airport. Alarm clocks set for 5:30 we had our last nights sleep at the Cosmopolitan. Morning came quickly; we woke, dressed, and headed down to wait for the bus. After checking out the bus arrived and we eagerly boarded, ready for the long flight to the UK. About 20 minutes into the trip to the airport Alison checked the flight details… and said “Wednesday the 6th?”… woops… we were not heading off until the next day! After a few minutes of panic we settled down and checked our hotel booking… yes we had stuffed that one up. Well there was little point worrying about this now. The remaining time to the airport working out what to do next. The statement “I can’t believe…” was repeated quite frequently.

Eventually we arrived at the Airport, only 26 hours before our flight ☺. We headed down to the departures area, trying not to look too silly and took up a seat. Out came the handy MacBook and we quickly scanned the wireless networks… there was one called Free WIFI, which sounded great. Once we were on we headed to the Expermedia web site, and booked a last minute room at the Novotel in Tung Chung. The hotel had a shuttle bus, so we waited around for about ten minutes before heading off to our new hotel.

Now we had a whole day free in Hong Kong. Nothing planed, much like all the other days here. Tung Chung is a bit out of the way, and our Octopus Cards were running low so we wanted to stay in the area. We had already done the Skyrail, and well… we don’t know much else about Tung Chung. However Sunny Bay is near by, so we quickly decided to spend the day in Disneyland.

We had visited Disneyland on our last trip to Hong Kong; so much of it was the same. We hadn’t spent much time in Tomorrow Land so we headed straight there. Space Mountain was our first ride, and then the Buzz Lightyear ride that was so good we went on it twice.

Most of the day passed really quickly and we eventually headed back to the Novotel and checked into our room. The room was fantastic, a great location to stay. Bags are packed, the alarms are set, and tomorrow we will be on our way again.
