Well it was long. The first leg from Heathrow to Hong Kong was uneventful in a 747-400. Cathay cabin crew are very good and the whole thing wizzed by. Watched Talladega Nights and Fast and Furios.
The second leg from Hongkong was hilarious. Sat next to an ozzie geezer (his words) who hated kids. Unfortunately a family with 2 kids had been moved back from first class as their headsets didn't work in first class. The parents treated the cabin crew like hired help and expected them to look after the kids while they got on with sleeping. Cabin crew did a great job.
Decided to hire a car and drive to the hotel from the airport. Girl on the car hire desk gave me directions and said it would take an hour. Took me 90 minutes, mainly because her first direction was "turn right out of the car park" which would have had me going against the flow of a one way street!
