From my 20min boat tour (HK$20/US$2.60) but we didn’t serve any pink dolphins. As in bubble gum pink, yet somehow named Chinese white dolphin.
Houses on stilts (well this one is a cafe)
View from my cafe stop
Tasty BBQ’d oyster with cheese on the street (HK$20)
Colourful mural in the village square
Fought the urge to get up at 5:00 and managed to sleep until 9:00. Perfect.
Arrived for dim sum just as they opened at 11:00
Mmm yummy
Heading out to Lantau island to see the Big Buddha statue and a fishing village
I did manage to sleep 3 and 1.5 hours on these 2 flights. I skipped the sandwich near the end of the first 7hr flight.
Salad with scallops
Shrimp and salad main dish (out of 4 options)
Oh yeah, the ice cream trolley!
Tasty curry sauce on chicken and rice
And surprisingly they had an amenity kit (without an amenity bag, which is a good thing) inc slippers, on the gum-hkg leg.
3 of 12 Van Gogh self portraits at a special exhibition of digitally restored photos (think faded colours) and 3D recreations of 7 pieces
Jordaan, a peaceful neighbourhood a brief walk west of the old town
Fast food too slow? This fast food outlet at the train station also has a vending wall of self serve hot items
Tasty Indian dinner at Koh-i-Noor resto near Anne Frank Huis (which had too long a line as few sights are open in the evening)
Snacks and drinks in the quiet “executive” lounge at our hotel
Combo late lunch and early dinner on one of the squares along Europe’s first pedestrian street
DKK 200 ~ $35 nacho plate for two (with tzatziki and olives alongside the “salsa, guacamole,” jalapeños and sour cream on the side)
One burger would have been, wait for it, DKK160 ~ $28.
Even at these prices, you had to go inside to order and carry your drinks to the table.
Late lunch today
Sticker shock – this entree, a quiche entree, one cooler and one cappuccino: $50! Admittedly it came with some very tasty dark bread.
After that, we decided not to go in the new ABBA museum ($30 pp)
Yummy… Salmon roll app
Sea bass main
Cheese trio dessert
And breakfast 3 or 4 hours later…
And yes, Baileys in the coffee!
Not sure why the “soup spoon” is a tiny plastic teaspoon (alongside metal knife and fork). Received a metal teaspoon upon asking, a little better. Ah, first world problems 😉
And I won’t be eating that bread, going gluten free. More on that later.
Huge 5th floor rooftop terrace at the Red Lion Inn of all places, in downtown Seattle near 4th and Pike. Hip big inside bar/lounge too. Happy hour 4-10pm daily.
Sliver of a water view, sun most of the time when the days are long.
Just reopened May 1st with a Miami vibe. Plus patches of astroturf, Orange ping pong tables, shuffleboard, fireplace, DJ but not too loud. Well, it just got louder.
Not the least expensive hh, but quality, ambience and a big terrace.
And no, there is no more free lame nachos table anymore.
Real – and healthy – food in the AC Maple Leaf Lounge
While I’m upgraded on 4 of 5 legs already, there’s no meal on this short first flight to ORD. I’m sure I’ll get the upgrade on the last flight too.
Hello sunny and warm San Diego!
