The last time I saw a real bed was the night from Monday to Tuesday. On Tuesday, 14:15 my flight from Cologne to Paris was the start to our journey to Sydney, Australia.
Bds, Snajdan and Fisker joined me in Paris at about 22:00 that day and our flight to Singapore was scheduled for 23:15. Long time for me at the airport, but with my Centrino Notebook and the WiFi Network at the airport I was able to work there, so it was ok. Unfortunately the weather in Paris turned totally and at 22:00 it was snowing all over. Result: we entered the plane on time, but the aircraft did not leave untill 02:00. Great. Just sitting in a Boeing 777 and waiting for something to happen.
Not enough, the entertainment system of the aircraft did not work and so we were not able to watch any movies or anything at all. Great for a 12 hours flight. A combination of TV shows on my PSP, a meal, my book and some bad sleep was the result. In Singapore, I realized, I needed a visa for Australia, too, so I had to by this one directly at the airport....phew...lucky me ;)
The connection flight from Singapore to Sydney was perfect. Seven hours and a running entertainment system on our 747-400 Jumbo. Three movies, no sleep and some good food was the outcome (Lord of War, Capote and Walk the Line).
So finally, after a $A40 cap ride, we arrived at the hotel, about 8:30 in the morning and guess what, checking it at that time isn't the best idea. Well, the hotel manager understood the situation and worked it out for us, so a bit later we could check into our homes for the next five days.
So far we went to a smaller shopping mall, grapped some food and took our chance going to Bondi Beach, which was beautiful. I guess I got soem red colour, but we will see.
Now I am sitting back in the hotel room, it is 4:46 pm local time and all we are going to do is get some dinner and maybe see what's happening in Sydney, but I can promise, I will sleep early, fast and goooood.
At 10:00 am on Friday we will have to be at the location for two TV interviews and at 12:45 our guys will play their first matches. Hopefully everything goes well with Ahl, Spawn and Gosey, so they will join us directly :)
More to come...
