Hi Julia,
Thanks for the info and it's nice to know I was missed! I had a great time in Lisbon, it's a very lively city! I had seen the HK add-on in the brochure but wasn't sure if it was a misprint, as the tour starts with a couple of days in HK anyhow. I think it would be a real pity if the Cook Islands add-on was dropped, so fingers crossed it will be reintroduced in the years ahead!
All the best,
Bob
