Day 41: Jumbo!

Mood: Hungover
Music: Deadmou5 - Strobe

Today started fairly late with several sore heads around Gary's house. After breakfast, cooked on the BBQ of course, and a long period of sitting on the veranda, we had a last couple of games of Wii bowling before heading back to the airport. The drive was an hour and a half or so but passed fairly quickly.

Once at the airport I sat and waited for another couple of hours, catching up on episodes of House and Bones that I've yet to see. I had found out the previous day when trying to book my seat, that I was flying on a 747-400 series plane. This might not mean much to most people but I've been wanting to fly on a jumbo jet since I was a child and have been quite disappointed to get smaller Airbus planes for the two long legs to date.

On the plane I watched a couple of films to pass the time, including The King's Speech. Having been told so much about it I was almost unsure whether I wanted to watch it at all. I'm glad I have done so though.

The check-in and baggage retrieval at Singapore airport was very simple and Emily was waiting for me at my arrival gate when I got in. We hopped on a train to the city and arrived a the hotel (very very plush). I'm sure I'll take photos at some point!
