jetlag yeah.. & how far does 30 hours travelling by plane get u u ask? well it just so happens that it gets u just to where you want to go which in this instance was heathrow airport which was most convenient cause that’s where we were going.
+ what a lovely thing it is when ppl drop u off at the airport. u know someone really loves u when they give up their 5am sleep to give u vehicle transportation to the airport + big warm goodbye hugs + on top of that wait around to wave u off just to make sure that u actually have gone. big smiles + on the topic of awesome ppl thanks to the ever present sue + jeff.
so how beautiful is it when u ascend from within clouds + come out on top only to be greeted by the yellowiest morning sunrise sunshine.. well let me tell u it was magnificently pleasant.
+ how good is it when u r walking around duty free shops at melbourne airport pretending like u might actually buy something cause u r trying to waste a 7hr
stopover cause u were scottishly cheap enough to buy cheap 6am early bird flights.. oh crap probably should of turned that into another sentence cause that was pretty long one plus i never even got to the end point which was to say that we ran into a jesus like figure minus the halo who was attempting a new zealand accent + looked like a cricketer that u would love to bowl under arm to if u knew that they needed a six off the last ball.. anyway that’s also a bit of a long sentence also not culminating in a conclusion. anyway we met ross keane. u gotta love those chance meetings + it was ever so lovely catching up with a childhood hero, almost brother and good mate. we talked for ages about everything both deep + shallow, it was most marvellous.
so 12 hrs later(loz watched movies, ben listened to music) we hit dubai airport. we were both overwhelmed by its majesty.. there is a water wall water fall that is at least 10metres high which blows u away. it is also amazing the multi-culturalism of the place. it was like a family from every tribe on the planet had been invited to come + hang out together. it was really really lovely.
+ onward the brave adventures continued with an incy tiny little 7.5hr flight into heathrow airport london which looked + felt like an oversized warehouse compared to the majestification that is dubai airport. we found & gathered our bags and our weary but excited smiles knowing that we had accomplished what we had set out to do.. travel to england.
so overall an epic start to an epic adventure. im sure it will one day be put into a movie, probably a three part trilogy directed by peter jackson actually.
chow for now
