22nd February 1991
Today was the big day,just after lunch we arrived in Hong Kong.The ship had to slow down to make its way to terminal.Its a busy shipping lane.There is a lot of traffic small boats,big boats,cargo ships,ferries etc.Everbody seemed to be out on decks to see the ship make its way in.You look around and wow its an amazing place cant wait to go ashore later.For some of the crew its a good day today,its time to pack and head home tomorrow.For the ones joining its back to zero.
With ship docked and all tied up and gangways open,i still had my working shift ahead.I finished work around 1 in the morning rushed to my cabin got changed and went out to see the HK night life,it was Friday even better.I managed to catch up with some crew in bar and what a crazy night i had. .When i stumbled back to the ship the sun was coming up,had a quick breakfast and went down to my cabin for some needed sleep.I got a few hours sleep then it was back ashore again.Went for some chinese lunch in a back street restaurant done lots of shopping, stuff is cheaper here than back at home.
Today was also the leave the party the some old faces are back,good to see some of them.Now i cant wait for them to come back because i am next in line to have leave.Southampton here i come
Today was also a big storing day its the last on before the ship is back in Southampton.
In the afternoon was back to work with a new team.The Bartenders and PRS change bar once a month.I was asked to stay in Club Lido until Southampton.I dont mind it.
After work it was back to the HK night life.................
