Nicobar Islands

After a few hours sleep at 5am UK (mid-day local time) we are having breakfast over the Nicobar Islands north of Sumatra. Small perfect tropical islands that look uninhabited sitting on the underwater ridge that caused the tsunami in 2004.

Dawn came at about 1am as we flew eastwards into the sun, just as I needed to sleep. Numb bum and dead leg syndrome ensued after an uncomfortable few grabbed zzzzz's, one more hour of this cramped environment to endure... Been flying now for 14 hours.
