7am feeling amazinlgy sleepy but must catch the bus! So after dragging our backsides down stairs after the worst sleep of the trip we go and wait for the bus by Lee's travel agency. When the bus arrives we jump on and are suprised its a transit! good times at least its not as dodgey as some of the things we have seen. 3 and 1/2 hours on the bus to the harbour we pick up others for a total of 16 people the tour guide has brought along a stool to dsit on by the door (genius!) So after falling asllep most of the way and acting like one ofthem nodding dogs you get in the car we arrive, Say hello to a few of the people we will be travelling with and get on ... read more

So Arrive in Hanoi no less than 24 hours (ish) late. The taxi driver was waiting for us though (good day!) got to our first hostel however and they had given our room away and the taxi driver didnt work for the company he was just a dodgey guy.

So today we woke up to a message that simple said Stay indoors Level 10 typhoon is in effect. Basically the worst typhoon to hit HK in 13 years and were stuck in the middle of it haha. So today consisted of us staying in until we needed to eat then casually popping out to starbucks and mcdonalds because of course the world could be ending and companies like that would still be open. However it was amazing to see people getting blown about, wearing hard hats and even magazine stands staying open with only a little plastic sheet to protect the presious magazines they sell. I think thats roughly all for today leaving HK tomorrow bit guted e didnt get the chance to go to the theme park but next time because I'm pretty sure ... read more

London to dubai - 9:15pm to 3:30am london time, Dubai to HK- 10:15am to 2:55pm London time, LocalHKtime9:55pm. hieght 49Kfeet. So the beggining here goes. On the first flight I found myself sat in the middleof the row between Bugg and an old woman from SA, the entertainment in flight is actually amazing and very smooth. The feeling of leaving and going so far is very strange not so much scary or exciting but I found it hard to belive its all happening. Plane food isn't all that bad either very good service. The A380 however was amazing, everybody should fly one of these. Upon arrival James and Haze were waiting for us which for me was such a relief and It was so good to see him in his place after hearing about it for ... read more
