So the magical trip through south east asia has been delayed and we are, for the moment, stuck in foggy hong kong. We turned up to the airport yesterday, only to be told we couldn't fly out because my friggin vietnamese visa said "Date of issue - 4/3/10" not 4/2/10. Laame. After a mad few hours of frenzied waiting and rushing around we were finally told that the vietnamese immigration in ho chi minh weren't going to let us in, and we traipsed back to the city.
So we've rescheduled to fly out on Sunday, I sorted out my visa this morning in HK in a cheap and painless 10 minutes - which frankly took the piss out of the three expensive, hellish mornings I had in London last month trying to do the same - and it gave us a chance to trek around HK a bit more, catch the star ferry across to the kowloon side of the city, and generally plan.
I'm gonna give my shiny new camera a go now and see if i can't upload a video onto this baby, but otherwise, hopefully the next time one of us posts we'll be getting ripped off by taxi drivers in sunny saigon, not hidden in the smog of hong kong.
see thee later
