Stephen used his hotel points from Ford to book us into the Intercontinental Hotel on our first night in Hong Kong. It was so luxurious after the hostels and tents of Australia.
When we arrived they asked if we would be willing to wait 15 minutes and they would upgrade our room. We happily agreed. They even gave us drink vouchers to use in the bar in the meantime. I have a picture of Stephen drinking a late night whiskey in the posh bar. We had fun people watching while we waited for them to set up our room.
When we finally walked into our room, the view took our breath away. We were on the 18th floor overlooking Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island in a blaze of neon lights... The bed was the size of a typical hostel room and it even had this electronic consul on each side of it to control all of the gadgets in the room. Stephen accidentally set the alarm for 6am when he was messing around with the consul so we had an unintended early wake-up call...Oh well- the Chinese breakfast buffet was beautifully presented and our friendly server told us which sauces to try with our dim sum. I could get used to this!
