Hi Everyone,

We are now at Hong Kong airport, a first for both of us incidently. It's about 1am in the morning, we are about to board onto our 12 hour second leg!! And as much as I like Cathay Pacific, I cant say much for its movie selection. The first leg was fine, we got through it in a red wine haze and were in two seats on our own next to the window.

Its really hot here, even at this time, and despite it being a transit airport, we seem to be a minority in terms of race!

I am just waiting for Russ to finish his oily rag (Yes, he is a smoker in all countries) and then we will queue. Very much looking forward to craching at the hotel at Milan airport. Feeling very tired now. Which hopefully bodes well for the second stint.
