Flight to Blight(y)

Overcast morning in Melbourne - not looking forward to the long flight to London! 

We seem to be much better organised this year - don't know what has changed!

A pleasant breakfast in the hotel before booking a fare to the airport. The young driver was a very interesting chap. 

With all the bile being dished up by sections of the government and the press - they need to speak with this young man!  A Somalian, who fled his war torn country when 15, is now, ten years on, holding down two jobs, at uni doing a business degree and with a young family. What a success story! 

Part of a larger in- ground mosaic at the Melbourne International Terminal. Have walked over this many times without stopping to appreciate the vibrancy.

Larger shot!

The technology at the border security points change each year. So much more sophisticated and streamlined this year. A very easy process if you are travelling "light"! 

The Dreamliner was only half full on the first leg of the journey to Bandar Seri Begawan, with the hostess suggesting to get some sleep this leg because the next two legs could be full loads.

Preparing for the flight!

A very pleasant flight with some beautiful views of tropical storms on our approach to Brunei. 

Not quite as impressive as in the real time!

The wealth of Brunei is obvious with the huge numbers of new housing surround the capital. 

Arrived on time - a 2 hr stop and next onto Dubai.
