Now we know why they call it 'long haul'

---

Well we've arrived in Hamburg, Germany after 36 hours on succession of planes chasing the sun across the globe. High points - we had a nice flight on Air New Zealand to Hong Honk and ate real chinese food for the first time (or at least as real as you can get in an airport), and we almost saw the Himilayas and think we saw Tibet... there was definitely lots of snowy mountains and lots of flat on the Tibetan Planes.

Anyway, Ive got to rush this because its hard to find internet around here and Ive got two more days to cover before our next bus leaves.
