Well, the jet lag finally hit us yesterday afternoon. A mixture of dehydration and humidity didn't help either. We found an English themed pub called 'The penny black' (yeah that's right, we've flown halfway around the world just to find an English pub!).
After being surprised at the price of a pint (more than the cost of a full meal) we grabbed a table by the river and relaxed with a nice cool tiger beer. It didn't take long before Mike started dropping off, I even had to relocate his beer at one point as he was slowly tipping it over as he fell asleep. So we finished the beer and decided it would be a good time to head back to the hostel to relax and catch some much needed shut eye.
I wasn't too tired but a mixture of relaxing in bed in a nice cool room (thank you air conditioning!) and listening to my ipod (thanks Ian) I ended up falling asleep anyway. Neither of us woke up for about 3 hours! Although we did feel much better for it.
Hopefully the leg to Oz (only 6 hours flight away) shouldn't be too bad, lots to do there, can't be nodding off halfway through a jungle trek now can we!!
*Update*
The lag must have been far worse than I first imagined it appears that somewhere along the line I have lost an hour. I set my watch to local time when I arrived at the airport but this morning it was an hour out! I have launched a full investigation as to the whereabouts of this lost hour and will spare no expense in it's recovery. (Jump)

I'm with Mike on this 1,sorry Tom, but faling asleep at the bar is allowed. Air conditioning! bed!! good God your British!!!
Only sleep at the bar or in transit. Or you will miss something.The drinks will q on the bar in the former and the time will pass quicker in the later, unless your driving in which case none of the above applies.
