Oz Report – Part 2 – The Flight

elbeno, 27 August, 20071 September, 2007

The flight:

Mini-Elbeno: a gem. Sleeping, smiling, watching Bananas in Pyjamas on the in-flight entertainment system.

Food: mediocre, where it was edible at all. As expected.

Entertainment: Borat – hilarious. Sunshine – reasonable “hard science” content. Enjoyable. The Chaser’s War on Everything – an Aussie comedy sketch show I got by mistake while trying to watch Spiderman 3. Turned out to be the better deal, I think. Very funny, and Aussie humour is much closer to British humour than to American.

It was the quickest 14-hour flight I’ve had.

Australia

Saturday. Once more our plans changed – owing to Mrs Elbeno not feeling 100% and the inclemency of the weather, we decided not to take a day trip to the Blue Mountains. The Boards had suggested Palm Beach, but this was also a long drive, and in the end we…
