Emma had this weird need to be at Wellington Airport 3 hours before our flight was due. I say it is weird because for everything else she is normally 30 minutes late. In bigger airports 3 hours is probably a good idea but at Wellington where flights to Sydney are just glorified domestic journeys it was a slight overkill. During the three hour wait at the airport Emma realised she had forgotten her stethoscope. After a kicking herself numerous times for forgetting such a crucial piece of equipment we decided to buy lots of scratch and win tickets with the hope of winning a fortune and negating the need to work while away. Unfortunately Plan A did not pan out so Plan B, getting the stethoscope sent over to England has reluctantly been put into action.

It is 11:30am and not surprisingly Emma has gone back to bed after we went for a stroll around Kowloon looking for breakfast. If you are not used to Asia the initial culture/humanity blast, coupled with some jet-lag can be very harrowing. Our plan for this afternoon is to take a sea-based tour of the harbour which should be nice and a bit more relaxed. Emma has not seen the Hong Kong skyline but after her initial reactions to Kowloon I think shes going to have her mind truely blown away by some real high-rise architecture (not the pieces of junk that dot NZ's cities). The China tour has been confirmed for tomorrow so it will be an early night followed by a very long day tour of the southern tip of China.
