Sleepy Hong Kong Cabbies

HONG KONG | Tuesday, 29 May 2007 | Views [599]

Hadn't imagined our trip could possibly end in Hong Kong just a few days after it had begun! We were leaving HK heading to London.......early in the morning and just after dawn. Had a close call with our cabbie but due to Liz being ever vigilant, managed to survive a potentially dangerous trip from Kowloon to the fabulous airport.....seemed like a good idea at the time so we hopped in the first cab we saw outside our hotel. Little did we know that this guy had been up all night and we were to be his last(literally!)ride for the night. All was going pretty well until we were within a few kilomteres of the airport when we started the weave...one side to the other and we both relaised this guy was asleep. A quick loud exclamation by us and he snapped back, rubbed his eyes and soldiered on without even a smile or a comment! Crikey, it was a close call but we made it unscathed. I wonder if he made it home?
