Flying home
Tuesday 11th June continued and plane left at 9.50pm which was on time and first flight only 13 hours. Seated at 25A of 3 seats sat next to nice girl who was first time flying long distance and going all way to Manchester. Thought would watch Les miserable first as might be quite intense and 2 and half hours long was riveting and incredibly entertaining. It was nice as could remember some of the songs from when I worked on Thomson cruise ship which made it more enjoyable. Was quite funny really as looked on the flying map and after nearly 4 hours was only just leaving Australia proves how big it is. The food wasn't the best and didn't help as ordered the same as person next to me vegetable cow mein and didn't look same but nice to get ice-cream later on. I then watched some TV series How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family and Elementary was 6 episodes but only watched 3 then thought best have a sleep. Only manged to get 2 hours sleep and missed the end of the 3rd Elementary series so watched when woke up with another one. I then watched Die Hard - A good Day To Die which is the newest one as was told good was ok but may e not my favourite Die Hard movie. Then thought best go to toilet for 1st time only been in seat nearly 11hrs and calf feeling sore it was then breakfast ate the fruit and yoghurt but left the hot meal. Also watched 'Hansel and Gretel- Witch Hunters' was nothing like the fairy tale was so so all I can say is glad didn't pay to see and luckily just to see end before turn off for landing. Got to Abu Dhabi 6.20am so 20 minutes early once gone through baggage scanner ended up going wrong direction to gate but eventually found as abit confusing. Ended up staying with the girl I was sat next to on flight and had free Wi-Fi so checked hotmail, Facebook and update blog a little. Also was nice as was free magazine and even the latest OK but by this time quite peaking so opened my pringles. Started boarding plane at 9.10 and plane was 20 minutes late leaving ended up leaving at 10.30am and could feel myself falling asleep on take off. This time seated at 20K and only 2 seats and after take off was awake and trying to watch films but been silly at first but eventually worked. Ended up watching 'Identity Thief' which was somewhat entertaining with a funny bits but not the best plot. Also the food wasn't too bad but it was pasta which you can't really go wrong with and probably as quite hungry by this point. I then watched 'Oz the Great and Powerful' which was a beautiful enchanting classic tale filled with wonderful characters is a must see. Then watched 'Jack Reacher' with Tom cruise who does no wrong is an above average crime, thriller movie. In morning came round with sandwich which wasn't the best and think only managed to get about 39 minutes sleep on 2nd flight which was 9hours. Landed 5 minutes early at 3pm and luckily didn't take long for luggage after getting off plane and going through passport probably only 30minutes.
