We have a Hong Kong breakthrough! I went down to the Cathy Pacific office in the Peninsula Office Tower this morning with Sammy, who really only came along to check out all the mobile phone shops. I was very calm and I had a most understanding assistant. She immediately saw that we hadn't missed any of our flights and that where I had changed a flight date they must have failed to cancel the old ticket, therefore when we didn't show for the cancelled flight they cancelled the rest of the schedule.
She spent 15 minutes with her supervisor and they gave us our seats back for the 29th. She even gave us our seats numbers. I don't know how they did this as I know the flight is severely overbooked. Anyway we are back in business and flying tomorrow.
I am hoping to catch my old boss (RG) in Hong Kong tomorrow afternoon as he is over here and in China for the trade shows.
Today, after the tickets were sorted out, we went to the Jumbo floating restaurant for lunch and then up the peak tram to the top of Victoria Peak. It ended up being an excellent day.
After lunch we took the Peak Tram funicular railway to the Victoria Peak. The peak was shrouded in mist and the outlook was cloudy and humid. We took pictures at the top and there was a tourist who was so enamored with Sammy's blond hair, he asked us to take a picture with him.
As part of this day out, we hired a chinese junk taxi to explore the harbour. These rickety boats have female owners who live on board.
