Had a lovely afternoon at Queen's Theatre in Hornchurch watching "Loot!", a remake of Joe Orton's play. If you like farcical, chaotic comedy, then you will find this a total hoot! 😄

We were walking past Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly and thought we should check out their new central staircase. A beautiful double spiralled structure. More convenient for customers too 😊

We finally saw the world's longest running play, a classic 'whodunnit' by Agatha Christie! So enjoyable. It has entered into its 75th year. Our show was number 30376 and still full house! Incredible. I wanted to see it some 40 years ago. Could this be the world's longest procrastination? 😅

Our CX 777 to HND this afternoon. These regional business class seats are surprisingly comfortable, despite lack of privacy in a 2-3-2 config. PDB of Ayala champagne and Cathay Delight. Much leg room. Smallish screen, not the most responsive.

Time for our 24h door-to-door trek back home. Seated in the Pier Business Class Lounge at HKG. A BA A350 pulled up and got this engine view of a Fiji Airways plane 😊

Ding Dinging over to Causeway Bay to meet up with my better half.

Coffee break between last minute shopping and dinner. Zeroone in Wanchai is by a coffee champion and it really shows!

The old and the new, from Senso-ji in Asakusa to Tokyo Skytree 😊

Being a fan of sea urchin and also still very jetlagged, we went to Tsujiki Market yesterday at 7am for my sea urchin and sashimi birthday breakfast feast 😍

Muji Hotel Ginza in Tokyo showcases how to make small spaces work. My single room is only 15sqm, but somehow, it has everything you'll need. The wardrobe acts as the bathroom door. Love the neat arrangement under the sink. We get a diffuser too! Only downside is not much room for your suitcase/bags.

You know you are arriving in Japan when you have this view out of your window on final descent 🥰 The sunset makes Mount Fuji look even more beautiful 😍

When flying JAL, their Japanese meal's a must! Both taste and presentation are so good. Cream cheese amuse bouche. The 5 starters were so delicious! The details in each dish were outstanding. Loved how the rice was wrapped, hence not dry. The choc mousse could be sweeter. Washed down with sake 😋

Had a great flight on JAL's A350-1000 to Tokyo! This new biz seat is right at the top of the game. Wider, more space, taller doors, more seat adjustments vs. others. Wardrobe, shoe compartment, comfy soft beddings and big sharp TV add to the list....

Cheers, everyone! 😊

The start of my trip back to London. Cathay's Pier First Lounge at HKG is so worth the trek over. My favourite for sure 🥰

Which livery do you prefer? I like the retro one. It suits the 777. Those stripes visually make the plane look sleeker. Also for the nostalgia too 😊

Sipping champagne and eating cookies whilst plane watching = joy 🥰 Love the A220 Racoon look. A couple of pretty tails from Royal Air Maroc and Bangladesh Biman 😍

Had a lovely time with my daughter at University of Edinburgh's Open Day today. Did similar with my son 2 yrs ago. Never expected so many modern uni buildings; somehow, I thought it would be much like the Old Town! We really liked the place. And it was so nice for me to feel like a student again! ☺️

Venice Beach in LA. A bit of ocean air will always do you good 😄

Tell me you are in LA without telling me you are 😄 Only noticed that we could see the Hollywood sign from our hotel room on this clear(er) day 😅

A bit of street art on our walk to Little Tokyo in downtown Los Angeles.

A bit of plane watching at LAX 😍

Just putting this here 🥰

2nd meal prior to landing on JX2. Another quality offering! The salad was fresh and crisp. Baked French style egg was not overdone. Brussel sprouts + mushrooms might look odd, but flavours were good. Fresh apple and pineapple juice, the illy espresso and fresh bread all add to a very nice meal 😋

My dinner after take off on JX2. I pre-ordered the lobster linguine. Soup was delicious, but could be hotter. The scallops were succulent and sweet. The lobster was a little over done. Hard to get right in the air. Pasta had good flavour. I chose the gelato combo and fruits to finish, both so good!

My biz class seat on Starlux's A359 has this huge cupboard, which can hold the headphones, a bottle of water, slippers, amenity bag, my charger, my book, my glasses....so useful!! We were given pj's. Contents of the amenity kit is good. These seats are quite private even when door is opened.

Our Starlux A359 flying us across the Pacific tonight. Space travel theme in the cabin with metallic look finishes. Love a side lamp, which adds a warm touch. Huge hi-res screen which is super responsive. Comfy seats, esp when in Zero G position. Sliding doors a bit token. Pity only one window.

Our next flight is on Starlux's A359 to LAX. Some delicious food and a good shower beforehand in their lounge is a must!

This is our third time landing at TPE in as many weeks! Nice to see Taichung on our way in. Just love being above the clouds in the bright blue skies 🥰

My pre departure drink on CI904 from HKG-TPE. Because we were switched onto this flight a few minutes before flight closing, we were told there would not be enough meals onboard for us. They gave us food vouchers at HKG instead. Hence, we just had cocktails and snacks onboard.

Goodbye, Hong Kong! Will see you again soon 😊

China Airlines' Skyteam liveried A333 (B-18311) has a rather retro biz class. Not been on these angled lie-flat seats for years! Love the huge legroom. Those small baggy screens look somewhat cute. Likewise those control buttons and that curly cable for the remote 🥰

The post typhoon chaos at HKG didn't dampen our enthusiasm for our next stage of our trip. We were originally on CI's A321Neo, but, with our connecting flight at TPE, the agent put us on an earlier, itself delayed, flight just in case. A Skyteam liveried A330 it was!

Our Queen of The Night bloomed tonight 🥰

My friend and I felt like an Indian meal tonight and found this wonderful place in TST East in Kowloon, with great service, deliciously innovative dishes like this pav bhaji fondue, well cooked classics and a view of the harbour to top it all off 😊

First time at the Kai Tak Sports Stadium in Hong Kong. It is built on the spot where planes used to start their take-off runs. Impressive building, but a bit hard to get to. Nice to walk around it on the podium level.

Morning coffee with a friend (and with a view too) 😊

For someone who grew up by the Kai Tak runway 13 final approach flight path, this T-shirt is a must 😊

We were warmly welcomed by the crew on boarding our EVA Air flight to HKG. Fantastic meal for such a short flight; the meal service started with 58mins to landing! Loved their bread selection and wine poured table side. I pre ordered this beef dish, which was as delicious as in many restaurants!

EVA Air's A333 with their 2-2-2 layout biz class seats. Big screens, good legroom, small footwell for my size 10's, rather retro looking seat control panel. Not much storage space.

Our departure gate for our flight to HKG from TPE T2. Nice to have a theme for each gate. Makes it more interesting. Our plane was this A333, reg B-16338. The special Sanrio plane was next to it 🥰

EVA Air has 4 lounges in Taipei Taoyuan Airport Terminal 2, each for different passenger groups. This is their main business class one called Infinity. Not very big, with internal terminal views. Food selection mainly Taiwanese/Asian. Tasted very good! Love those 'pods' chairs.

Reminiscing our times in the mountains in Taiwan 🥰

Beautiful hotspring resort an hour's drive from Taichung in Taiwan. Stylish duplex room with direct hotspring into your private onsen! And the connection with the outdoors whilst bathing, it is truly blissful 🥰

Our flight on EVA Air's 787-10 today. A short 1h30m hop over to TPE. Very smart biz class cabin and seats, with big, high resolution screens and much storage space.

After a week in HK, we are off to Taichung for a week of chill time in a hotspring resort! Waiting for our flight in SQ's Silver Kris Lounge at HKG. Nice and quiet with a decent breakfast spread 😊

After a night at Hilton Taipei Sinban, we leave a rainy and thundery Taipei for Hong Kong, flying on China Airlines on one of their B738s.

Somewhere below those far clouds is Hong Kong, our next destination. 👋 to my family and friends there!

My lunch on Starlux between SIN and TPE concludes with an illy espresso. A hot towel was given too.

I put my wine on the side ledge without a coaster. The crew was just walking past and immediately placed one underneath it to prevent it from slipping. Incredibly detailed service! Well done, Starlux!
