Hey leftseat, I do trust that the braai's are still happening at Light Flight?

Visited the Birds Nest and Water Cube this evening; we went to a music, lights and water concert at the Water Cube - amazing!!

off to Hong Kong tomorrow morning (early!!!), so I will catch up with everyone when I get there and post some pics of my trip thus far.

By the way, I am now off to Beijing.

In Macua. Got the TurboJet ferry from Hong Kong to Macau today and have just checked into my hotel. The irony of this place is that you have all the top brand name casinos here and yet there is this poverty when I look out of my hotel room window:-

Don't worry, when John Young is around there is always a braai going. Even sent some pics to Uncle Spud Murphy on Friday bragging about the flying, braaing and Golden Throat Ticklers!!! He has taken some leave the dog!! Maybe we should change his microlighters name to Blitzvinnig or BBQ?

Sitting in hot and humid Orlando. Nice place, but far too touristy and glitsy for me. Haven't seen any microlights.
Back to London on Monday, via Miami...and then home.
Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints
