Goodbye Concrete City

I had a wonderful last day. My very lovely friend, La Grande Poobah, took me to the Four Seasons Spa complete with Champagne and a chance to say goodbye to Hong Kong in style. Naked in a room with two way glass looking out over the HK Business district. The pollution was pretty bad and it was a dreary day but at least we provided a little sunshine!

I came out smelling gorgeous and feeling well and truly pampered, how on earth am i going to manage living in basic accommodation with a bucket of cold water to wash with every day!

I said my final goodbye to Jo and then sat in the window in my room looking out over Hong Kong, it is amazing. I finally cried the tears i had been holding onto. Hong Kong has been good to me but as i looked out at this massive concrete city i realised that there is a better place for me, it has trees and grass and no pollution.

Thank you to all my wonderful friends who made the last few days so special.

Goodbye Concrete City..........

Stage 1 - the goodbyes

Writing this from the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, scene of many good meals and quite a few wild nights. I'm in the process of saying good bye to good friends here. It doesn't feel too sad to be leaving, rather I feel excited that so many of my friends have so many plans and fun times ahead of them too.

There is a really good energy here that makes me feel happy.
