We got up really early to set off for the airport. We said last goodbyes to the remaining team and headed off. The Chennai airport is modern,large, and expansive, but with plenty of time allotted , we had a few moments to spend our last rupees before heading off on our first leg to Kuala Lumpur. After an intense 2 weeks living in Chennai, it was strange to be leaving.
After a long, but uneventful two flights, with movies and finally a beer, we arrived in Hong Kong, where we were met and whisked away to our hotel. We have had only a fleeting glimpse of this enormous metropolis, with huge skinny skyscrapers everywhere. Our hotel is lovely, with modern furnishings, soft pillows, quilts, real showers, and hot water. Funny what one finds important after having spent the last two weeks in much less comfortable accommodations and surroundings. Spotless around here so far!
A few hours of sleep and we head out with Pikto for a local diabetes walk.
On another note we were stunned this am with the news from Paris. So scarey that it seems there is violence everywhere. We felt lucky to be safe and not to encounter any significant travel delays.
More when we get rested and settled.
With love from Hong Kong,
Barbara
