Day 1, 5 July 2012, 36,000 feet, in Business Class and therefore close to Heaven. Here we are. Due to having booked quite possibly the first seats on this flight exactly 11 and a half months ago, we are in 16K & 16J - the coveted exit row on the upper deck of a 747... honestly - could have held an impromptu yoga session at the midpoint of the flight. (Funnily enough the muslim gentleman on the other side of the aisle did just that at prayer time. Not quite sure how he calculated Mecca - but he seemed pretty confident). There were a lot of cool dudes on the plane who spent the entire 12 hours in their clothes - but we had our kit off prior to leaving Sydney (half an hour late... but who cares in the rarefied atmosphere of business class). Obviously, since "Qantas passengers in the nude" wasn't on the news, we got changed pretty darn quick into our snazzy new Qantas pyjamas. Given that we don't intend spending $$$ on food unless absolutely necessary, we took the opportunity to eat ourselves silly - see piccies in album to see what we mean. Also scarfed a fab shepherd's pie - just got into it too quick to take a photo - c'est la vie.
