We stayed locally for most of the day today and got our laundry done too! We took a bag of a week's washing to a little laundry across the street from the hotel, the very helpful lady weighed it and charged us $24, about £1.50. It was washed and dried (and smells beautiful) and returned to the hotel reception about 5 hours later!! All I had to do was put it all away - I could get used to this lifestyle!!! I now intend to take everything else in next week and take no laundry home to do - what luxury!
In our hotel we found a gift shop today - great I thought, I shall buy a panda or two to take home. When we got there we found a half curtain hanging just inside the doorway, it is an "Adult Entertainment" Empire!!! Over 3000 gifts for him and her the notice says.
Late this afternoon we went across to Discovery Bay where N_M's brother and sister-in-law live. We had a delicious meal and a good catch up with them. Discovery Bay is very different to the other parts of Hong Kong I have seen so far. It's very Westernised and somehow "sanitised" if that makes any sense. I do prefer the authentic hustle and bustle of Temple Street and Jordan Road.
For tonight's dessert we opted for Toblerone in filo pastry parcels, served hot, with ice cream and hot chocolate sauce, mmmmmmm. It was scrumptious.
It was somewhat more exotic than the other evening's tea in a Japanese tearoom, which consisted of doorstops of white toast with peanut butter!
No plans yet for tomorrow, so we'll see what the day brings.....

I can think of a few GOW's who would like the address of the laundry lady - and that desert sounds like a heart attack in every spoonful!
Keep up the good times
