Still in Hong Kong
Wasting time in Hong Kong, apart from finding valuable contacts for the diesel engine change that will allow me into Russia. Have spent whole morning in two shops trying to get GPRS working should have brought some carrier pidgeons with me!
Wasted nearly 2 hours in a bank trying to get my creit card out of a hole in the wall. I hope this run of bad luck ends soon.
May abort Vietnam to Macau Kirk charm so far failed to get clearance, any suggestions? Aiming to fly Darwin to Dili Monday 25th if not Sunday 24th. Will update iternerary on website as soon as things become clear.
Heading out towards Melbourne on next available flight.
About Maurice Kirk
Maurice was born 12th March1945, a war baby, in Taunton, Somerset, West of England, within a final family of four brothers and one sister while mother and father were working 24/7 to run a country veterinary practice. Country pursuits very much dominated his spare time from most sports with his passion still for hunting , shooting and fishing!
Maurice is currently trying to fly to South Africa in his WW2 Piper Cub,registration G-KURK. His other D-Day Cub, G-KERK, is destined, on skis, for a rather taller mountain after his promise to Sir Edmond, six years ago. Meanwhile, the task of obtaining justice in the UK courts, in order to practice veterinary surgery, is proving to be somewhat elusive.Authority has quite another agenda.
