In the spring last year I found a book in an Oxfam store in St.Albans north of London, Jan Morris´Hong Kong. I am a collector of female travel litterature and Jan Morris has for many years been one of my favorite travel writers, so I was not in doubt. The book had to be mine. Knowing that I was going to Hong Kong a few months later, to visit friends, was an extra bonus :-)
When my husband and I went to Hong Kong in November last year, the book went with me. I started to read it on the plane and planned to continue during our week there. Our friends Estrid and Sindre had other plans. They were staying in Hong Kong for a year, when we came they had been there a couple of months and already had a long list of must sees to share, and an even longer list of places they wanted to explore themselves and wanted to take us with them.
Our days were filled from early breakfast till late bedtime. And no time at all for reading.
From Hong Kong I continued directly to India while my husband went back home to Norway. I had planned to ask him to take the book, which is a quite heavy hardcover book, with him back home. But then our friends asked to borrow it.
Estrid and Sindre came back to Norway a few months ago, and for two days now they have been in Trondheim. And brought the book with them :-)
So now Morris´Hong Kong is back where it belongs. In my collection of Jan Morris books, in my collection of female travel literature.
And I have picked out, from a pile on my nightstand, Contact! A Book of Glimpses.
A gem of a book which can be read like sucking on candies.
