The Hodge Blog

Join the eponymous Hodge and his bunch of fiftysomething mates on a laughter and alcohol fuelled trip to Hong Kong to celebrate his 50th Birthday. Chart their progress through the planning stages, the gruelling flight from the UK, first impressions of HK, success, or failure, at Happy Valley Races and the casinos of Macau, and the special treat that awaits the Birthday Boy. A certain amount of poetic licence may be employed by the authors, so don’t believe everything you read!

3 and a half days and 15 nights

A final post from Hong Kong as the netbook will be going in the suitcase soon. Lons and I have a 6pm check-out ready for an 11:15pm flight. Pete and Hodge will only be around 3 hours from Blighty by now and Meister will be around 5 hours into his journey. Not too sure about Kiwi's plans, when are we ever, but I believe he's on a train heading into mainland China. Al is in Canada on a business trip so come midnight none of the 'Magnificant Seven' will be left in Hong Kong.

There are so many things and moments to look back on but that will come later in quiet reflection. I'm also sure there'll be many things that are remembered when we meet up again in the UK and start chatting about the trip. I really can't say that there's been a single highlight for me, the whole trip has been fantastic and, apart from my travelling companions who really made it a great trip, Hong Kong itself has been the star. It can best be summed up in the title of this post, which is the answer to the question "how long were you in Hong Kong?" It's that sort of place.
