Our friend in Jakarta
After 8 hours of turbulent flight over a thypoon we landed in Jakarta airport. We were greated by Heather who managed to tip her way into the "secure" baggage area and collect our luggage. As people do, she picked us up in her chauffeur driven black car. Nice one Heather. After a nice evening meal in Jakarta (if slightly hot), thanks Jason, we checked out a local dancing joint.
The next day Heather, Nina and Rob headed south for a couple of relaxing days on the beach. Well one of them was relaxing (swimming in the pool, having a house boy bbq fish for us, having a massage on the beach...) the other was spent going down the grade 2 river in small canoes. That was lots of fun, almost equalled by the trip to the river standing on the back of a big yellow truck going down some steep tiny country roads. Oh how we laughed...
The Jakarta trip felt rather short as once we got back we had one more night with Heather watching Asia cup on TV, Indonesia playing South Korea. Indonesia lost. :(
As we bid our sad farwell to H and Jason we boarded the plane to Saigon via one night stop over in Hong Kong and guess what??? We got upgraded to the first class again... it's hard being us :)

Hey you guys. I was just sitting and wondering how you're getting on when the flahsbulb lit and I remembered you guys have this blog! What an ace idea and also very sporting of you to keep it updated. Although I am really enjoying following your 1st class progress across the globe, it has to be said that my face is now greener than the Grinch and me already green eyes have now popped out of me face from the sheer force of blind, unadulterated envy.
Summer here is resolutely remaining shit so you are not missing anything. Other than perhaps Prince concert being held at the O2 arena which Im attending soon and which I'll inform you about in due course.
Well, hope far east is oodles of fun and can't wait for the next blog.

anywho - we are in cambodia now so we are starting to experience the wet season too but over here it's quite refreshing.

OK - where is the next blog?? I know you are only away for a relatively short time but you have visited several domains. It's just no good enough. If you are going to make us jealous, make us properly jealous with tales of glorious beaches, heavenly vistas and tales of derring do.
