Hi everyone!!!
It’s the first time for me i’m writing the blog in english :-) !
Finally the blog is alive again :-), now i’m somewhere above the Bay of Bengal, already been flying for almost 10hours, 11277 meters high!. I left in Brussels around 5.15pm to Frankfurt where I had to wait for ore then 5 hours.
The trip from Brussels to Frankfurt was amazing. I get in to the airplane and I had seats in the front, a lot off leg place and view on the pilots. I was looking them and thinking by myself that they where very young, they had to be the same age as me!
Then I looked better and I recognised the pilot. Like 6 years ago we played softball in the same club!!!I went to the steward and asked if I could put my head into to the cabine to say hello. Peter recognised me and he asked me if I wanted to stay whole trip – landing, and leaving – to join them! This was the most best experience I ever had. I have been flying already a lot but this was amazing, especially the part of landing, the view we had in the front and the systems how pilots works. They are all the time checking everything, the breaks, it’s everything on , off…luckly ;-)
When I arrived in Franfurt I had to wait 4hours. The line for Sydney was so big when we had to check-in . The plane can take easly 400 people. Peter told me that a normal charter plane can take 48000kg (I hope I’m right ;-) ). Can you imagine how much this plane can take.
The time difference is very strange. I left Frankfurt at midnight and arrived in Singapore about 7pm, I have been flying for 10hours! Luckly I didn’t slept the night before and for almost the whole trip I have been sleeping, before I knew I arrived in Singapore.
I had to get out here for 30minutes and then we left for Sydney. This trip takes 6hours and 30minutes. When I arrived in Sydney the tile was 5am.So that means I lost one day! Right?
I have been flying for almost 20hours!!
Oh yes Robert, for you I have been writing some distance: look
Brisbane to Los Angeles : 11531 km!!!!
Frankfurt to Singapore: 10281km!!damn!!! 10hours flying
Singapore to Sydney : 6289 km !!6hours flight
After Sydney I had to take for the 4th time and other plane to Adelaide. So now I’m in the youthhostel, really nice and clean. I can get internetconnection on my computer for 4 dollar.
Adelaide is really not so big. If you see in whole Australie it’s the 4th biggest city.
Everyone told me that Australien people are really very nice , I have to admitted this! It is true. From the airport in Adelaide I took a local bus to the YHS and two kindly ladies from Brisbane started to talk with me.
They gave me there coordinates and when I’m in Brisbane (I’m leaving here back belguim) I did have to call them!
So!What are the plans.
I stay in Adelaide for 4 days, today I’m going to settle myself, going to get some foods, cooking (you have different kitchens here where you can cook! So nice! All young people togheter, love it!)
Tommorow I’m going into the city for the whole day!
I have booked 2 nights here in the YHS and I’m going to book a trip to an island. Kangeroo Island. It’s a guide trip with young people and you stay here one night. You go by ferry, to the little Sahara, walking with the Sea lions, looking to little penguins, sightseeing….
I’m leaving on this trip on saterdaymorning and coming back on Sunday evening.Then I will leave to Melbourne. Marijke, my friend from Belguim is arriving there 2 august and I’m staying there with some friends of here. Then we’re planning to leave for Canberra, Sydney and flight to the North where it’s more warmer. Because you know that I’ts winter now here. It’s about 15degrees and sunny. They expect rain tomorrow and the locals are very happy with this!haha
Because the river is all dry!
Okey I think it’s all for today folks!
Big hug!
