24 January 2008: Bye-Bye Hong Kong

Well, today is our last day. We spent the morning packing and weighing, then packing and weighing again. I managed to get my suitcase right on the limit of 32kg. Chris's was just under, weighing in at 29kg. We checked in our luggage at the train station (which I was very impressed with) because our flight didn't leave until later at night, but we didn't want to haul around our luggage all day.
We spent the day shopping, because the weather was rainy outside. There was an ice skating rink in the shopping centre, but I was the only one who wanted to play, so we didn't end up going on it.
We made our way to the airport via train, and tried to fit all our shopping into our hand luggage! It only just all fit!
The plane journey home was long, and uneventful. Once we landed at Sydney, we had to take our bags through customs, and get onto a connecting flight to Melbourne. Our baggage took ages to come out, so we missed the plane. The next available flight was 2 hours later, so we flew home on that one.
Ryan's parents were at the airport waiting for Ryan and Brent. They had just flown in from the Gold Coast for the Australia Day long weekend and had hired a car for them to share on the ride back to Glen Waverley.
Peter picked Chris and I up from the airport, and dropped us off at home. :) By that stage, I was pretty tired, and didn't really feel like doing anything except sleep. I think Chris felt the same.
