Well, neither James or I have killed each other (yet!) but we did get off to a bit of a shakey start: James has discovered that he is allergic to his wedding band (read that it left funny marks on his finger) and I got taken into a small room for a bomb test and a body search. The plane ride was long, the icecream was so frozen that my lip got stuck to it and bled and James' fingers swelled up making his wedding band even more of a problem. Despite this, and the tiredness we both felt from being up at 4am due to nervous excitement, we arrived safely and are about to set off (it's now 9.30 on Wednesday morning) on our first day out in HK. Photos will follow as have just bought new camera and not charged it yet! SH

Not killed each other? That's a good start. Allergic to wedding band? Oh dear. Body search? May have been pleasurable. Bleeding lips? Unatractive. All this on day one! Not to worry, from now on the holiday of a lifetime begins, and we look forward to reading all about them, and tracking you on our Atlas as we did in 2000. Let the adventure begin, and enjoy the journey. Peter Pan & Tinkerbell.
It's great to hear that you have made it through at least the first 48 hours - not long to go now... Be sure to visit the fresh produce markets (can't give directions as we stumbled on to them) somewhere between the Eiffel Tower & Arc D'Triumph - and buy the fresh raspberries - they are the best we've ever eaten! Also, see if you can make it to an evening session of the Moulin Rouge :) Looking forward to following your journey!
