Sydney to Taipei.

Leg one of the trip is complete!! The 9 and a half hour flight from Sydney to Taipei is done and dusted. Wanted to share a few of my highlights :)

So from the beginning, while checking in my luggage, my brand new suitcase broke! I went to lift it off the trolley and the handle came off. It has nothing to do with the weight either!! haha. Actually the guy at check in said we packed light!!

My carry on bag is also falling apart, but that is mainly due to the weight. I have so many activities hiddin in there!! Dono and Laura dont stand a chance sleeping on the plane.

After we boarded the plane, the lights go out and we started watching movies, then around midnight, all the lights came on and we got lasagna!!! Although im not sure if it was actually real food or not. But it felt like all we did for 9 hours was eat!!

I then had to cut about three laps of the plane to find the toilets, cutting through business class and the kitchen. Would have been nice to stay up front, they got slippers!!!

The rest of the flight was fairly uneventful. I swear our pilot was drunk coming into Taipei cos it felt more like a ride on the wipeout than a proper landing. It was real nice flying in at sunrise though. We had a catch a little monorail round to the next terminal which was packed and took off faster than the tower of terror which was hilarious when I was falling into everyone, (sorry).

We got to the right terminal then spent the next hour looking for our gate. Turns out we were actually at the right gate from the start... idiots.

Once we knew where we were going we went to get some coffee. I shouted and had a giggle when I had to pay 99 bucks for 3 coffees!! lol.

Taipei does not seem to have change machines, there vending machines are ALL out of water and I had to buy a postcard to get change to buy a juice!

So far I think I need a bit more practice before I try out for the Amazing Race, but were getting there. Its all good fun and new adventures.

Off to finish my coloring in now :) Talk to you in London!
