Well, I made it. It
was painful and tiring, but I made it.
I left Townsville
late, which made for an interesting connection in Brisbane. My plane landed at
Brisbane domestic 40 minutes late, and the bus to the international terminal
was late as well. Once I eventually got there, we had to run!
We got through
customs, with 3 of us done for extra tests, as always, when you're in a hurry.
We were walking through the shops when the final call went over the intercoms.
We had to run, all the way to the other end of the terminal, and only just made
it!
Once we sat down,
with me by myself because I checked in separately, we settled in for a really
long flight-14 hours, 35 minutes. The food was okay, edible, but not nice, and
the seats were cramped and uncomfortable. However, in-flight entertainment is your
friend! I watch the 2nd Guardians of the Galaxy, and a few other things, before
I dozed off over WA, and woke up just before the equator, then drifted between
asleep and awake until India. Once we landed in Dubai, we had to go through
security, which was thankfully quick, and walk to the gate, which was-thank
goodness-in the same part of the terminal. We just had to wait for the rest of
the contingent. After resting for a while, we jumped on the next plane, flew
around the Middle East, not over it, and eventually landed in Copenhagen, after
7 hours flying from Dubai. It was still Monday the 27th-and it had been for
over 24 hours. Unfortunately, I had to take a 4 hour train to the other side of
Denmark to get to Kristjan. It was nice, but it got dark really early, which
I'm not used to. I got to Randers around 7pm, went to Kristjan's house, had
food, and slept off the jetlag. I'm at school right now, and I'll do another
blog entry in a few days.
