But of course, he ends up back in his room before the bottle can be finished (good champagne is to be savoured, not rushed, after all!), and what do we find waiting for us but a Birthday cake! (and not the last one, as you will see...)

The morning after the night before, and Willard finds that his fur now extends all over his tounge, and he has a sudden need to ingest a large quantity of liquids, to get ready for this afternoons flight to Bangkok.

And so, after the fortification that only two pots of strong tea can bring, Willard checks in for his Cathay Pacific flight to Bangkok, and makes yet another friend.

And flying Cathay from Hong Kong can only mean one thing - a visit to the famous "Wing" arguably the best, and certainly the most oppulent, First Class lounge in the world. Here he is checking in at the front desk.

And so, ticket in hand, and hangover in abeyance, Willard can relax and enjoy a few glasses of champagne on his birthday.
