And then, suddenly, almost unexpectedly, the final day arrived :-(
I'm not able to describe the way Hongkong is in my heart, it surely felt like a home. So the departure felt like leaving for a vacation....
We spent the day walking around TST a final time, then some more hours in the hotel spa and pool. Eventually we took the shuttle bus to Kowloon station, enjoyed the easiness of the in-town check-in and had a last meal in one of the restaurants inside the Elements mall. It was a Thai/Vietnamese bistro and the taste of the dishes was simply great, a perfect farewell dinner.
We had some braised lamb...
...some Thai-style milk tea and...
...braised beef with 5-spices and basil, perfectly tender.
Even the HK airport is as entertaining as a airport gets, unfortunately we had to avoid most of the shopping opportunities in order to reach the gate on time.
Then there it was, the A380. My first flight with this mega-jumbo. Leg room was rather tight, though.
Technically it was already the next day when we reached London airport for a stopover, but to close the whole HK story, here is the information that I had Eggs Benedict for breakfast before continuing to Berlin.
