Fairly uneventful flight, washed my happy pill down with a Mr Walker which had moi out for the count for about 6 hrs... Didn't hear any rug rats but I'm guessing I wasn't destined to hear much. So here we are in Honkers with 5 hrs to kill so off we went in search of a lounge. As we aren't flying Qantas on to Frankfurt we can't use the Qantas Club....buggar, not happy with those rules...so off we went in search of a pay-for-use lounge & $140 later we are relaxing having just had our complimentary massages....all $140 of them! The masseuse wasn't amused when I tried to thank her in Indonesian....oops right eye shape but wrong country! Truth...I did say Terima kasih. Lounge is nice, all inclusive booze & food, nice bubbles Kris :0)...Moth found the pastries pretty quickly & I'm guessing whilst I am off taking a shower he'll be getting up close & personal with the desserts....hmmmmmm I'm think he'll hit the electrical gadgetry stores which are in abundance here, either that or Baskins Robbins, neither are safe really.
Cazza....you will be happy to know they have a Starbucks here albeit blink & you'll miss it kinda size, I passed but you knew that.
Moth has done a runner, me tinks he spied an ice creamery down one of the many rabbit warrens that make up this rather large & impressive airport. It's so big there is a subway to take to get from one end to the other...yep we got lost & ended up on it.
$140 is possibly a whole lot cheaper than a round or 2 @ Brissy airport, you did well ! Glad to here you had a good sleep, and hope Steve got his ice-cream. HTF can they over book a plane has got me stuffed, 60 seats sell 60 f...ing tickets ya bloody clowns, anyway all well that ends well.

Totally agree Kris, unlike in Yankee land where they offer you an attractive payoff to get booted. No bother it all went well, Mr Walker helped!
DeleteFor anyone having an airport layover in Hong Kong for any length of time we can strongly recommend The Travellers Lounge, worth the $70 & that's Aussie $$ each!
But they don't have ice cream
