JAMES After stupid amounts of time on planes and at airports, and after crossing more time zones than is healthy, we have finally made it to Sydney! The flight over from Hong Kong was the first long flight we have done this trip which was subject to neither turbulence nor annoying co-passengers and, having watched all the decent films available on previous flights, we actually managed to get a few hours sleep! I can't say we arrived in Sydney fresh and raring to...

Wednesday 5th to Saturday 8th November KATIE Well, eventually got round to writing the blog from Hong Kong! Arrived here on Wednesday and it was fantastic to be back in Asia - love the place! We've done most of the usual sightseeing things, and apart from jet lag, James doing something to his neck and me having some sort of bug we're doing well!!! Didn't have much time to do anything on Wednesday, had a nice drink in the club lounge (splurged out on a club roo...

JAMES A bit out of synch again with the blog updates, but in our 4 days in Havana, we only came across one internet cafe - inside the poshest hotel in town, charging £4 for 15 minutes.

We fly out to Hong Kong at 7pm tomorrow evening, so God knows what our body clocks will be like by the time we get to the Far East! Currently been up for 28 hours without a wink of sleep, thanks to a particularly fidgety old bat in front of me on the plane last night. Oh well, at least we're rock and roll if nothing else! In the process of dumping 2GB of ...

JAMES Sadly rain stopped play in the wakeboarding after Nick had just one go, so I was never able to demonstrate my prowess at the sport. Probably a good thing as it would have been ultimately quite embarrassing, so at least I was spared my blushes! But we still managed to have a really good day out on the boat. There is something very cool about arriving places by boat - I think we should do more of it! When we are back in the UK, if anyone spies me arriving at...
