Well  as I was leaving terminal I saw  Len and  his wife plus another  couple.  I walked outside and left for airport. As always flight delay. Never saw the four others again. Not sure w why no one helped them off ship. I had help. One  even  asked about my HK flight but I knew the time not the number.

 

i can honestly say I wish I had stayed in HK. Would of been in my hotel room. By three napping  plus the flight to states was at three so easy to handle. 

 

That was "Da Bear" from the roll call.   We're touring Angkor Wat with them tomorrow.  Today is a day to relax at the resort here in  Siem Reap, Cambodia.  This is truly Third World, but fascinating.  90 minute massages for $32 can't be beat.  I have never seen anything like the security at Singapore Airport. It's pretty intense.

 

I don't know how you do four cruises in a row.  I'm DONE.  I love Hong Kong.  Of all the places we have been, that's the one place I could stay for a week.  Right now, things are too unsettled though.  I don't know your other itineraries, but this one was great.

Da Bear (Michael & Judy) did a full day tour of Angkor Wat and two other temples on the small circuit.  This blew me away.  We had a great guide, but it's the entire place that amazes at every turn.  If you have a cruise that begins or ends in Southeast Asia, GO TO ANGKOR WAT!  We are seeing a couple more temples tomorrow and riding the elephant around a temple and heading home on Sunday.

The cruises were easy but fir a few nights of no sleep for some reason. 

 

I found  it very easy there. Was in airport at 6 and lounge twenty later. China ports the worse.

 

japan getting in was worse.

 

tsa was fast.

 

My first flight was two hours late. No time in HK to enjoy the lounge.

 

flight home lost their crew so we  left an hour late.

 

slept ten hours

 

  tired..pulling out gifts and laundry. Then will repack everything for winter cruises.

 

One cruise and you are tired..you have to learn to sleep in on sea days and party at night for energy.

Kowloon - Day 1 - A couple of the photos are protest related.  One is the 14 year old girl who is a symbol of what the pro democracy demonstrator are fighting for.  She was brutally attacked, raped, and killed by police.  

 

The first photo is Goose Manor, a great Roast Goose place in Kowloon (most of the top ones are in HK Island).  Another photo is from our hotel room overlooking the other side of the bay and the HK Island skyline.  We were pretty tired the first day and still did a lot walking.  Another photo is of our young guide on day one.  The next set will be from Macau.

The batteries in my phone ran down before we got to casinos in Macau.  My next photos of that Monday night will be posted next and include the Venetian and City of Dreams (where we saw the Cirque style show).
