    Manchester Airport

    October 2 in England ☁️ 18 °C

    This trip was supposed to have happened through Thailand..to cut a long story short..I wasn’t able to enter Thailand..but had enough time to treat it as 2 trips..so returned home from Australia..rested up..visited Flo the granddaughter..did some hiking..and ..now..here we go again☺️✈️Read more

  • KLIA

    October 3 in Malaysia 🌙 27 °C

    It ended up being a Qatar Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Doha ..and a Malaysian Airbus A350 to KL..not complaining..both pukka aircraft..another 10000 kms flown then..again..tiring..but a bed at T1 ..Capsule Transit..as the thought of going into KL late night didn’t appeal..😒..Bahrain Grand Prix ..in Malaysia..tomorrow..at Sepang ..with Nephew Alex..our first ever F1 race together..so will be special ☺️Read more

  • Sepang International Circuit

    October 4 in Malaysia ☁️ 31 °C

    Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia..which started amid chaotic and unprecedented scenes..race delayed by 90 minutes by heavy rain..and it was really heavy..then bizarre technical problems..the race was fantastic..excellent location ..but 7 hours to get out of the Circuit and back to my hotel..at 1.30 am😒..but..all worth it..🏁Read more

  • Hilton Hotel..KL

    October 5 in Malaysia ☁️ 31 °C

    For 2 nights..25 floors..with a bar and pool on the rooftop ..it’s so hot and humid out..and uncomfortable to walk around…but have been out...Petronas Twin Towers closed ..so that’s that..but still..some great views from the top of this hotel..am here till I fly home..tomorrow..Malaysia doesnt interest me for travelling around..too humid..like being in a sauna..😟Read more

  • The real KL

    October 6 in Malaysia 🌧 24 °C

    I did try..to sample a bit of the real street life..but after 20 minutes in that humidity..was back in the hotel and up in the bar terrace with a rehydrating Tiger Beer..backdropped by those Petronas Towers..which I decided weren’t worth going up in this heat haziness..this footprint also has the mini tropical rainforest at KLIA T1Read more

  • Gulf Air

    October 6 in Malaysia ⛅ 28 °C

    The sponsors of the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia..another Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner..changing aircraft at Bahrain onto another Dreamliner..and should be back in MCR early tomorrow morning..I didn’t go for the Falcon Gold upgrade..stupid money..but did get a flat bed..or equivalent..as well as my seat.. 43K..I had 43H and J available..the whole row of 3..so a comfy bed was possible..with 3 pillows and a blanket..luxury☺️..to be able to lie down and sleep after the food and drinks came round..it certainly made a difference😌Read more

  • Reflections

    October 9 in England 🌬 15 °C

    On Australia and Malaysia trips..which should’ve been one trip..but I do feel it was better how it worked out
    About 38000 miles travelled....10 Airbus or Boeing aircraft..7 airlines..one Indian Pacific train
    Etihad..as good as a top 3 airline should be
    Batak Air..adequate..did the job
    Jetstar..a hop up to Brisbane from Sydney and back..adequate
    Qantas..superb..of course
    Qatar..another top 3..very good
    Malaysia Airlines..best for service..red wine top ups without needing to ask
    Gulf Air..proper stainless steel cutlery..but offhand stewardesses
    Slept in around 15 different places..ranging from on an aircraft overnight to Intercontinental Hotel..and everything in between.
    All worked to plan..and it was all great..incl the family visits..I’m resolved to now enjoy Autumn in North Yorkshire Moors…and my surrounding area .for at least a couple of weeks😘 Strong start..beach walking in Scarborough..lovely😌
