So, we're up relatively early and we try to get our act together, taxis are sorted and we're on our way to the Outlying Islands Ferry Terminals. Once we get there I cant rememeber which ferry to go on, thankfully Jayne has retained more brain cells than me and says it's the Mui Wo terminal, so it's another 5 minute walk down to the right ferry terminal. It's not a long wait and Clive asks the lady in the ticket booth which bus we need to get on in Lantau to go se...

Up'n' Atom....and not too late either, that's because we'd had a pact that everyone was tucked up in bed by 01.30am last night and amazingly enough we had all managed to keep to it. Everyone had slept well with help from our old friend Mr. Booze, so now we had convened to head out for breakfast. The place chosen was wittily titled "The Flying Pan" on the corner of Fenwick Street & Lockhart Road - To get there though, it was time to showcase the MTR, Hong Kon...

After an uneventful flight (which are in my opinion, the best ones) we landed in Hong Kong around 5.30 pm.

It's all silky smooth going through immigration although oddly, Grant doesnt get given a visa but is just waived through. We think this is something to do with being born i...

We left home (Eventually) around 12.40 pm and Grant decided to drive, usual story of stopping off for gas etc, and we then hit the M4 about an hour later. I decided to drive from the service station just before Reading, the roads werent too bad, some congestion on the major London turn off juntion but generally not too shabby. We got to Heathrow around 3.30pm. Checking in wasnt too painful either. This is a bit of a novelty for us as normally we're running late a...

Dia Cinco. Despite Alcuida being in the top north of the island, it doesnt take that long to get there, probably because it's a tourist hot spot. There's a motorway that goes straight from Palma to Alcuida and it only took about an hour to get there. This place is worth a visit, initially the area was inhabited by Phonenicians and Greeks, then settled by the Romans as far back as 132 BC! Vandals, Byzantines and Arabs all came to tear the place apart and eventall...
