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!

Day 2

What a night last night - I think. We only to wait until about 7pm local time to hear those immortal words from Pete "one more, no more". Unfortunately the "one more" lasted into the wee hours of today. Lons and I thought we would have a test run for our 12 hour round trip to Macau - in fact we did 15 hours in the end so Macau will be an absolute breeze !
Meister had an encounter with 3 drunken burly Russians who for some reason thought his offer of bottle of water was a poor substitute for vodka and proceeded to fall about laughing or throwing up or something like that.
Kiwi relived his formative years by hopping to a good rendition of Led Zeppelin and Al lost the plot in the Stag - of course nothing to do with the sambucca and baileys shots.
In Dickins bar as I write this watching the Welsh get a battering from the Springboks. looking forward to our dinner tonight.
