We are on our way
Des picked us up
at 9.30am and took us out to the airport to catch our flight Malaysian MH130 to
KL.
Dave was working
so had a quick chat to him before we went through. We left on time 1.15pm
flying time 11.5hrs. We had quite a bit of turbulence across the Tasman
delaying the serving of lunch by nearly two hours.
Was an unusual
leg in that we flew west, south of Sydney, north of Adelaide by approx 100miles
and all out west to The Aust Bite and then turned north. Tail winds all the way and up to 100mph
travelling north thru Australia. The crew weren’t particularly friendly, no
smiles but spose they were efficient.( This is Petes bit of reporting and you
could guess all about weather matters)
We are sitting in
the airport right now and awaiting onward flight to Frankfurt. It’s hot as hell
and not sure if there is any aircon. They were trying to sell us a bottle of
water at 4Euros per 500mls. We have over three hours here before our onward
flight. Our next flight to Frankfurt is over twelve hours.
We arrived at KL
at 11.45pm NZ time and leave here after 3.00am NZ time so hope we sleep well on
the next flight. Only dozed on the first leg. We won’t be arriving in Frankfurt
until after 4.00pm Wed. then we have to get the car and drive for an hour to
our destination. About 24 hours flying time in total.
Better go for a
walk!!
It was over four
hours before we returned to the plane. By now so tired as soon as we had a snack
on the plane took a pill and when to sleep for about 7/8 hours and arrived at Frankfurt
before we knew it.
Went to the
Holiday Inn for pick up of our rental car to be told that it isn’t ready re to
do with some paper work telling us that it will be another four hours yet. DAM….
Then we can finally get on our way to Heidelberg.
Will get this
posted now and get started probably tomorrow. Must be about 31 hours since we
left Auckland now and still sitting waiting to get on our way.
A lot of tired
writing so hope you can make some sense of it.
