Wednesday, 11 July

Arrived at 7.30 a.m. (11.30 NZT). A quick trip through emigration and customs then a long walk to terminal 2, bay 29 where my hotel transport was located. An easy walk as terminal 2 was down two levels and the route I took was a gentle downward slope. No stairs!
The Novotel Citygate  being just outside the airport as was there and checked in by 9 a.m. Unfortunately my room was not ready until 11. Soup the escalator for a coffee and a look at the shops in the Citygate complex. Yes to the coffee but no to the shops. I forgot nothing starts in Hong Kong until after 10 a.m.
Citygate  a large multi-storied complex across the main highway into Hong Kong and joint to the Hotel by large shop lined enclosed bridge. The photo is of the section of the walkway over the highway.
At eleven I got into my room, medium size and standard layout with the bathroom on the right and wardrobe on the left as you walk in. However the bathroom is different. The wash basin and mirror are open to the room with two doors leading to the loo and shower.
