  Once again we were pleased we were going to an outdoor world. Breathing recycled air in deep space for weeks on end can get old quite quickly. There was a decent crop of pirates waiting for us on the way in, and they spilled some decent cargo.

  Arriving at Singh's Camp on Alison's World was a bit of a comedy. As soon as we powered the ship down, we found that neither Pam or myself could stand up! We forgot about the over 2.5 G's that you're subjected to on this planet. With a day's conditioning we finally managed to get outside, but it was tiring work - we didn't stay long, and we were glad to get back to the 1 G conditions we keep on the ship. You can tell who is local here - due to the high-G conditions, I was at least half a meter taller than the tallest person we met in Singh's Camp.

  If you don't mind the rather odd sensation of food slamming into your stomach, there are some pretty good places to go and get something to eat and drink. But don't get drunk here unless you're used to a high-G environment!
