Heh, I'll be on NZ time when I arrive--so it'll be after midnight for my body clock. There's really no time to get some sleep AND get some exercise walking. $125 isn't a lot of money.

You're coming in on CX 198 and leaving on CX 830? That's 8-9 hours or so, subtracting time for entry and exit formalities. Plenty of time to hit Lan Kwai Fong and do a trip on the Star Ferry if you wanted to, and a cab back. You'd likely be under $125 for all that.
