Last night I bravely endured Bear sucking his way through a duck neck – aka a walking stick in pieces. Very brave of me. Delicious. Mmmm.

This morning his final go at eating his muesli and fruit from the toiletries box......we know how to live it up.

We caught the bus to Gloucester Road.

Crossed the busy road with the aid of lifts each side and bimbled past a festively decorated fountain.

Lisa made light work of welcoming us to the Grand Hyatt, our room was not quite ready as we were a bit too early to check in, so within minutes we had left our luggage with this native of Australia, headed upstairs to the top floor of the Tower and were soon enjoying a coffee.

Looking over toward Kowloon from the 31st floor of the Grand Hyatt Tower. We watched in fascination as the firework barges came in and positioned themselves, meanwhile, water traffic carried on as usual.

Working girls fussed until the correct position was achieved and more came in.

Just a bit more of a push.......there.

Meanwhile, we watched as the Conference Centre below us had a chap in a hard hat out for a bimble.........

We decided on our own bimble for fresh air and passed the Christmas tree on the 30th floor and one of the many down in main reception.

Out and about we passed a lovely florist.

We headed for the street market, passed Bear Tea and by the time we got back to our digs, our room was ready and Beds was soon settled (bath to his left).

Whilst Bear played with the electric blinds, I explored.

The ‘bits’ drawer, stocked fridge drawer below and the bath (open unless I want to shut the dividing blind).

The rest of the bathroom and our luggage room.

View from sitting on the bed, time to set cameras for tonight’s firework display against the window.

Now for a long bath, loved the tap, as Bear watched one of his current favs – Going in Style. Then to the 31st floor for cocktails and treats to begin the whole New Year’s Eve celebrations. No room facing Kowloon but an attentive chap settled us in a lower conference room, no complaints from and a view over the pool below.

Bear settled with free-flow champagne, canapés, comte cheese, smoked salmon and any number of other treats. We virtually had the space to ourselves.

We took darling little puddings in strawberry and chocolate back to our room for later.

Loving the orchids everywhere we look.

Our own private laser show. The TV takes our memory card – yay, we can enjoy our New Year films. Enjoying our own company, just as we love it, until the midnight hour when we will video and share with family and friends.
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL A LUXURIOUS TREAT
                     REALLY, REALLY LOVELY
