We went down to London for the weekend to see the ATP World Tour tennis finals at the O2. We had a fab time with Sharon and Simon and saw Djokovic, Federer, Wawrinka and Nishikori.

From the open-air boarding and deboarding area, I followed the Transit signs and was promptly intercepted by a lady who affixed a sticker to the back of my passport.

My flight was due to leave from Gate 59, which wasn’t too far from the lounge. The terminal was noticeably quieter at 1pm than it had been at 9am earlier in the day — which meant fewer people getting in my way.

From Gate 35, it was a long walk to transfers and immigration. The signage was excellent and it was easy to find the route to International Transfers — in fact, I appeared to be the only passenger using the facility.

I’d enjoyed a relaxing day in The Pier First Class Lounge at Hong Kong Airport. It certainly wasn’t the most exciting day of the trip, but it was exactly what I needed ahead of a mega stretch of flights.

Unbelievably, the hotel assigned me the same room last night that I’d had on my previous stay. Considering the place has around 6,000 rooms (or something close to that), that’s one heck of a coincidence.

It was mad for pickups at the hotel, but my Grab taxi managed to wind its way through all of the other cabs. For less than £2, its just a no-brainer to avoid the walk and getting sweaty on the way.

I enjoyed one of the best nights sleep in this trip so far. Having turned the light out at around 9pm, although I did wake regularly, I didnt get up until 3:30am. Thats hugely impressive for me.
