China 2019 - Part 9

Flying To Hong Kong

Tuesday - June 11th 2019

Today we left Hainan for Hong Kong. After we got up and had breakfast, we took the taxi to the airport. Apparently our driver wasn't aware of some closed roads, but a detour later we finally made it to the airport. Sanya Airport is rather small and so security, customs and check in wasn't open yet. So we got a coffee at Starbucks until it was time to check in. Once we passed security, we still had some time to kill and that's why we checked out the Sanya Garden Bar and got two freshly brewed beers. Finally it was time for departure. Although our Hong Kong Airlines flight was a little bit delayed, we arrived on time in Hong Kong.

When we arrived in Hong Kong our first stop after immigaration was at Pret-A-Manger. It was so great to get veagn food around the corner. Next we had to figure out how to get to our hotel in Kowloon. At first we wanted to teke the metro, but a very helpful employee directed us towards the bus terminal. The bus was much more convenient, because it stopped directly in front of our hotel. The bus ride was really fanstic, since we got a wonderful first impression of the huge city. In Hong Kong we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Kowloon with our room being on the 36th floor from where we had a great virew over the city. After we checked in, we headed to a nearby vegetarian restaurant for dinner. Later we checked out the local shopping center until we returned to our room.
