Friday week 4, April 15






This morning we were awakened at 6 o'clock to head for the airport--- our stay in Taiwan had come to an end ! Our dear friends did show up despite the late party yesterday night. To be on the safe side a driver was there to take us to the airport. It was a quiet moment not only due to yesterday's wild party but the wisdom that our 4 weeks now quickly had come to an end. 4 weeks had seemed like ages when we arrived, but now the date of our return was here. It was hard to hold back the tears and only the wisdom that we will be back some day kept us going.
Reporter, our dear friend and companion during these weeks was there to wave us farewell ( not good bye), as we all were determined to meet again.

With 35 kg overweight we had a hard time at check-in but managed to negotiate it down to 15 and only 200US$ to pay !!

Arriving in Hong Kong we were greeted with a sign at the gate with Fridas name. Now the problems started that nearly ended with us being refused to board tomorrows flight to London..
All our calls about Fridas peanut allergy had caused the airline to be very cautious. We rejected all their requests for us to go to a doctor to fill in a form to have them stop serving peanuts for drink snacks. Once on the plane all was very well handled by the stewardess that with draw all snacks serving. So much problems for so little, this airline will never be used by Frida again.

Now we entered Victoria Peak to view Hong Kong from above. It must be the most beautiful sight over a city that you can have.
