The Plane Trip

Three words... boring boring and BORING!!!

It was great to finally go on an international flight, but it certianly didnt go quick. It was 23.5 hours of flight time in total, and that doesnt count the extra time waiting in transit in Kuchang and Kuala Lumpur air ports (about 4.5 hours all up), and then there is the travel and wait time at Sydney airport and Heathrow airports. All up probably about 1.5 days of non stop travel, so it was safe to say that by Wednesday night, me, my dad and Issac were all totally wrecked.

Of course Issac "wasn't tierd", but he was first to crash, at 8pm, I went down at 8:30 and Corrado at about the same time.

Anyhow, the flight wasnt all bad, in fact some parts were interesting. We never realised that we were landing in Kuchang, (a country in Malaysia), and as we were landing there was a tropical thunderstorm happening. Needless to say that there was turbulance and plenty of lightining happening right outside the aeroplane. I'd never seen a storm from the inside, it was definetly interesting seeing the lightning happening inside the clouds, and every time that a flash occured there was a small red flash after it.

Kuala Lumpur airport was very fancy and modern. Plenty of shops, the transit area was huge. Shops everywhere selling stuff pretty cheap (and it was all 100% legit stuff too).

Fast forwarding quite a bit, we finally got to Heathrow airport after much time spent in the plane. When we landed, Corrado left his mobile phone on the plane, I ran back to get it, the plane was already security sealed and I had to get a security staff member to check for the phone where we were sitting (i wasn't allowed back on the plane). Anyhow that didnt turn up anything so then some high up guy from Malaysian airlines escorted me on the plane, we had to literally dis-assemble 2 seats and we finally found it in between the seats.

We met up with Michelle at the airport, and were back at her house soon after. It was all surrealistic when eating tea that we were actually at her house and not the other way around. Also the fact that we were on the opposite side of the planet.
