Our day started a bit early since our driver was picking us up at 8 a.m. We had done most of the packing the night before, so preparations were quick. Julian and Wit were both up to see us off on our travels. Our driver was right on time and we made good time returning to Suvanabhumi airport in Bangkok.
Clearing customs and security went quickly. We had a rather humorous customs officer who liked to make jokes. He had a small boombox, about the size of an electric razor that looked like a UFO. He made it fly around and was chatting the whole time. Definitely not your typical customs officer and a pleasant way to end our stay in Thailand.
Our flight to Hong Kong was smooth and the food was delicious. Compared to what you get on US domestic flights, even in first class, the food was very nice.
Upon landing in Hong Kong, we cleared immigration and caught the #21 bus into Hong Kong. The bus let us off right in front of our hotel and check in went smoothly. Our room was nice and we had about 2.5 hours to kill before meeting friends for dinner. Joe wanted to do some shopping (which is what Hong Kong is known for), so we wandered around the TST area for a bit before heading to dinner.
Dinner was at a nice restaurant in Times Square. There was a group of 8 of us and we pigged out on food! I know that is surprising, but I had to mention it. You can see pictures of some of the food here:
We finished inner around 10:00p and headed back to the hotel to turn in.
Tomorrow: Travel to Macau.
