Done and dusted. Our temporary licences are stapled in our dive logs and were ready to hit the rest of the world running. Todays dives were both great but the first was truly brilliant. Weve only done 14 dives but number 13 was the best yet. Odd that.... Read more >

We left Yangshou behind and took a sleeper bus to the border with Macau. Thanks to our formula one wanna be coach driver, and the worst road conditions in the world anywhere, we arrived with time to spare before our ferry and without a wink of sleep.... Read more >

I love it here in Shanghai. After 12 hours on a sleeper train we were here and the sun was shining. We took the subway to a hostel we found a flyer for and its a palace. Easily a 3 star hotel, maybe a four. Our room is huge and has a shower and free ... Read more >
