Tuesday 21st July, Heathrow, London
After a 4 hour car journey down to London, Mum and I were finally standing at check in handing over our bags. We were flying Virgin Upper Class.
I couldn't wait to get to Hong Kong and see the busy streets and the sky high skyscrapers!
A couple of hours later, well 12hours 55minutes later to be exact, we were stood, tired, waiting to collect our bags. We had had hardly any sleep because of a guy who was coughing and sneezing throughout the whole flight.
Then, when we were approaching arrivals hall, I spotted Dad and pegged it towards him. A Chinese guy was stood next to us and he almost started crying like the rest of us. He must have thought we had been seperated for at least a year when it was only two weeks!
In Hong Kong, on Kowloon Side, it was 32 degrees celcius: absolutely stifling heat and humidity. I was amazed at just the sheer amount of people going around their daily business on the streets.
Our hotel is called Harbour Plaza and has a roof top swimming pool.
Tips on reducing the risk of jet lag: If it is in daylight when you arrive in Hong Kong, make sure you get outside to get your body clock accustomed to Hong Kong time. Same advice for if it is nightime: try to get some proper sleep. If on an overnight flight to Hong Kong try to get some sleep. Hope this helps.
Love Megan
