So far

I have made it back okay but there were a number of issues. Firstly the flight was delayed by about two hours, which was annoying since we got to the airport very early which meant that we had a lot of waiting to do. I was rather impressed by the plane, it was huge in conmparison to the aircraft I have been used to flying on lately.

If I remember correctly it was an Airbus 330. Also being able to view teo cameras, one at the front of the plane and one underneath allowed us to watch as we were flying and gave a great view of the runway and landing from the front camera which was basically the same view you would see from the cockpit. You could also view details such as current speed, altitude and outside temperature all on the personal displayv on the back of each seat.

Another good thing was that we decided not to pay the extra money for the in flight meal but everyone got one anyway which was good for us but not as good for the people that had paid!

There is no air conditioning but we are going to get some fans in the rooms and we have a fridge to keep the drinks cold which is great. Tonight is going to be a chilled on so a change of plan there as I was planning on going to Space. It is great to be back and I am going to do as much as I can in these two weeks before I return to the real world. It is 38 degrees outside yet there is a nice breeze. There was not much of a sunset today though, due to quite a bit of cloud cover but hopefully we will see a better one tomorrow.
