Hong Kong was lovely. Lovely because we slept in, ate lazy breakfasts, wandered around the city with no fixed address in mind, enjoyed the fabulous view of the harbour from the bathtub, and revelled in days without deadlines.
That's the best thing about holidays - having nowhere to be, nothing to do at a certain time and falling into days that just find their natural rhythm.
On Saturday night we caught up with friends who live in Hong Kong. They took us to the China Club - a fabulous place by David Tang, the man behind Shanghai Tang.
I LOVED this place. It had wonderful old-world charm. We started with champagne on the rooftop while fireworks played out across the harbour, and then enjoyed dinner in the room pictured above.
The walls were covered in a wonderful collection of contemporary art, and we also got a glimpse into the divine library, which is used for private functions.
It was definitely a highlight of the weekend.
As was high tea at the Peninsula Hotel - something that several friends had suggested as a 'must do'. I confess to loving the odd scone, so was happy to take part in this ritual. I love a country that knows how to brew a good pot of tea!
