You should really film this and make a "how to keep fit while travelling" video.

I kinda cheated, staying in hotels decked out with fully-loaded gymnasia. I dodged the leg-work tonight, having felt an odd twinge in my foot yesterday which returned today, like part of it had gone to sleep. I spent 30 minutes working on arms and shoulders, threw in some elbows-to-hands planking and 15 minutes each on the ellyptical and the spin bike. It's all I can do to lift a small cup of chai, let alone a pint.

If one is not going out into the city looking for ways to finish off one's liver, one has rather a lot of time to work out. It's dull, certainly, but with Mount Doom in close attendance (I can sense it peeping across the equator) this is no time for hijinks and japerey.
