Well I got here!

And have email and internet access at home which is good, although it is a slightlz freaky keyboarad with the z and y swapped, and other random characters on different keys and things (umlauts for instance - öäü)

Well the flights were good, 24 hours of actual flying time, 34 including airport time! Over to Sydney I was next to a lovely lady who was going to her nephew's wedding, and the flight attendents were all very cool and funny! The trip to Vienna, via Kuala Lumpur was interesting, I was window seat (so couldn't walk around as much as I'd have liked, but did mean i got about 5-6 hours sleep...) next to a Polish girl, with little English, had to use every part of mz drama skills there, but she was very nice! Next to her was an Italian lady with very good English (and about 50 other languages!)

I watched lots of terrible movies - Alien vs Predator, don't watch so predictable, Little Black Book, alright, to see for free! Mr 3000, awful and one good one, a German movie, Die Edukators, with te guy from Goodbye Lenin (and Ladies in Lavender...!) That was actually ok...

Anyway, if you ever hve to get from Vienna to LInz, fly! It was this little plane, about the size of a bus, with big wings and propellers and was verz funny! The distinction between first and general class is a little 20cm plasctic screen... all psychological! Although they got cups of coffee and stuff, for the half hiour flight.....!!

Got to Linz, was met by my family, went home, was feeling a little jetlagged (having just gained an extra 10 hours of life...!), ate some weird purple cabbage stuff, rang my family, went to sleep for 15 hours... I think that'st hte best way to beat jetlag, don't staz awake for as long as possible, just go and sleep umtil it's a normal time to get up (normal here being about 7am...!)

Anzwaz, I'll ocntinue this in the next post, so go and have a break if you fel this is too much reading!
