Wednesday 23 September: En route via Hong Kong
Because we are travelling East time is passing quickly for us - it is already Wednesday afternoon.
After a good flight we are now in transit in Hong Kong airport. We can see the sea and some islands through the windows from the airport waiting area.
Golden Nugget: Need somewhere to stay - or do you have a spare room?
If you are travelling and need somewhere to stay, checkout AirBnB. This is a rapidly growing community of people with spare rooms (or sometimes a whole flat or a house) who are willing to rent them out to travellers. It often works out cheaper than a hotel and often the locations are just superb. Conversely, if you have a room which is empty, why not advertise it on AirBnB and make a few bob - and maybe make a few new friends too? We used AirBnB on our recent visit to Canada and stayed with folk in Montreal, Ottawa, Ontario and Perth. It works well.
(The AirBnB percentage cut seems a little on the high side for me, particularly if you book several nights - but it usually still works out as good value)
