Day 59 - Victoria Peak - Wednesday 14th December 2011 It doesn't seem to matter how early we get up, it's impossible to get out and to breakfast before noon. God knows what we'll do when we have to actually get up early for something! We got up and dressed in our smartest rig - the India dress code certainly doesn't cut it in HK. I suddenly feel like a need some smarter clothes and shoes to blend in with the locals - they are so well dressed and turned out! We ...

From the landscape - sand blasted d...

Day 55 - Mumbai - Saturday 10th December 2011 Dada - we're here!! 5.20am and we're outside Dada station trying to work out how to get to our hotel in Juhu. After several haggling sessions with different drivers, we picked one out and got in our yellow and black hunk of rust and sped off at a shattering pace towards our pad. We're being spoilt for accommodation in Mumbai as Alpesh booked and paid for us to spend the night in the 5 star Novatel on Juhu beach for o...
