Arrived in Hong Kong
Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong
Thursday 8th August: London Heathrow to Kota Kinabalu via Hong Kong
Travelling adventure begins! I set off from Tooting Bec dressed like a turtle with back packs on my front & back.
I was a bit concerned about time so decided to catch the Heathrow Express from Paddington. It was far from being rapid! However, terminal 5 bag drop & security was a breeze!
I've never seen people so keen to get on an 11 hour flight though. There was a stampede as soon as boarding opened!
I watched two films on the plane. Sofia Coppella's the Bling Ring with Emma Watson. It is based on a true story of how a group of mainly female teenagers robbed a string of celebrity homes in Beverley Hills in 2008. Then I watched Mud with Matthew McConnahay & Reese Witherspoon. It is set in Arkansas and follows the story of how two teenagers help an outlaw escape bounty hunters. Both were quite good films.
Unfortunately I didn't feel very well on the flight. I wasn't sick but felt quite nauseous. It didn't help that I was in the middle rear with a lack of fresh air. I spent quite a bit of time with the cabin crew who really looked after me. Their best suggestion for nausea was to walk around and drink some coke slowly. It seemed to work quite well!
Dinner was delicious- Vietnamese chicken & rice. I managed to get some sleep but didn't really fancy breakfast.
Just arrived at Hong Kong ready to catch my connecting flight to Kota Kinabulu.
