Hong Kong trip 25 Dec 08, Day 1

Feeling very excited about my maiden trip to HK, I was up early and we proceeded to Penang International airport for an early check in at 12.55 pm.

We arrived at KLIA at around 4.40 pm for the transit flight to HK and had a quick meal at Burger King before the flight. Haha.. just because we couldn't find any of this outlet in Penang. Our flight took off at 6.15 pm.

Finally, we arrived at Hong Kong International Airport a.k.a. Chek Lap Kok Airport at around 10.15 pm. Had to wait at the "tourist pick-up area" for our tour guide, Mr.C.K from United Holidays. He then took us to the hotel shuttle bus and drove us to our hotel.

We arrived at Royal Park Hotel located in Shatin after a 40-minute drive from the airport. The lobby of the hotel looked very stylish.

The 7th floor, where our room was.

The room did not dissappoint us, it was amazing to have luxury accommodation compared to a similarly priced budget hostel in Kowloon.

Pampered with huge sized pillows and a 40" LCD tv placed right in front of the beds. We couldn't asked for more.

There was ample space for a modern study table and comfy sofa.

The toilet and bathroom looked like the ones in a 5-star hotel. We dozed off at 12.15 am to recharge our 'batteries' for tomorrow's tour.
