Well first mission is progressing nicely. Got off from Brisbane Airport without too many tears or tantys. Only had one small moment at the check in when staff wanted our itinery - several blank looks and Michele found her scap notes which were also the itinery.(phew!!)
Had a letter of introduction for the cabin crew - being the shy retiring types we were too embarassed to use it. 'they' knew we were on board and the first class bubbles started arriving to us (sitting 3 rows from the end of the plane) In very large tumlbers!! The people in first class were scoffing it like water so we had to move onto the chardy which came with strawberries, figs cheese. Got the first class refreshment pack and quite a few bottles of red to pass to Micheles Dad. We met him and Brenda in Singapore for dinner - lovely chinese - best enjoyed with more alcohol. Riesling this time. Yes it is good to have friends in high places (38,000ft)thanks JB best you remain anon!!
Needless to say don't remember much about the flight onto London - hope we didn't snore too loudly:) It was very crowded. we watched a few movies and the time somehow passes. The real adventure begins in 2 days so stay tuned. Love to all our families & fans out there!

For those Home Pilgrims received this today
ReplyDelete"survived the first days walk - much walking thru snow and woods the view was well worth it. A bit tired now have been to mass in the cathedral here and have been blessed by the priests. Nice dinner of local trout and very good wine. We are legends for surviving todays walk, will sleep well tonight many pilgrims in the monestry tonight.

Fantasstic!! My friend Heather was certain you would encounter snow on day 1, but sounds as though you got to walk on the 'real' trail and didn't have to take the softer option along the highway. Hope you remembered to have the St Christopher medals blessed! Lots of love Jan, John, Jess, Luke and Sarah xxxx
