Have an uber long lie-in – soooooo worth it. Poor Aaron has been up since 9am – haha!! Since when did he surface at that time!? We meet Sutty and hit the Star Ferry over to Hong Kong Island as we have an errand to run – Dave’s dad left some charger thingy at the hotel last year so we need to go get it. We take a tram along to the other side of the island and go to the reception at the hotel. At first, they aint got a clue but with some perseverance we get there and the charger is returned. Yay!!
We have a wander through Victoria Park and see the craziest thing – old geezers having mini speedboat races around the pond – they are soooooooooooooooooo fast – it’s hilarious!!! The smell of gasoline and cooking oil is pretty overpowering but to watch this, is addictive! That kills some time and we head over to Wanchai district to meet Roger.
Luckily, Dave and Sutty have their navigation hats on and me n Aaron hang back letting them do the work – haha!! We find Delaneys – yup the other irish pub – and meet up with Roger. He aint changed one bit!!! But now he’s a daddy – bless!! We have a few magners there and then its time for Sutty to say bye!! He’s off to the airport – sad times!! He well wanted to stay with us and continue the holiday vibe
We realise we aint had lunch… his mate from Edinburgh rocks up and we go to another one of these local street ‘restaurants’ – basically, the Chinese version of a greasy spoon café really!!! I order soy sauce chicken – which is a huge chicken bone chopped up – after eating a piece, we notice there’s blood on the meat – argh!! Help me!!! Aaron asked for assorted meats – he gets gristle and bone chopped up really – hilarious – these cooks are sooooo laughing at us!!! Dave and Roger’s look ok – Duck and belly pork – but its all pretty cold / luke warm – I start dreading that I’m gonna wake up with the shits……….wait n see.
Next up we go to The Kanny Man – where Roger needs to meet the manager – as he’s from the same chain and needs to talk shop for a bit. The geezer looks like a Tommy Sheridan wannabe and props up the bar with a fag and a pint and his Thai bit of fluff – what a great look….he’s pretty miserable – obviously a weegie – and doesn’t even offer us a freebie – ugh!!!! Have a couple in there and then onto Fenwicks – which is a nightclub really….
Well, that was an experience…..there a few westerners in there…..all male, all over 50 and all with their Thai brides – sick, sick, sick!!!!! These poor women who are putting themselves through humping that?! Ugh, no thanks…..I look to the dance floor and its covered with phillopino women – bout 30 of them!!! All boogying away! I look around and I’m actually the only western woman in there – hmmm…..methinks, I’m in a seedy kinda place….but it all seems ok and we don’t stay there too long. We say cheerio to Roger and head back to hostel.
Dave is drunk and starts talking to all the dodgy geezers in the lift, asking them where they’re from – obviously Nigeria – and then starts doing the Fonejacker impression ‘I’m calling from your bank. Let me have your bank details’ – DAVID!!! STOP!!!! Luckily, no harm done and away to bed!! Macau tomorrow
