I just had to put this on the blog because I thought of Ayden as soon as I saw it!
Shame it weighs a HUGE 4kg- a bit too heavy to bring home...

Nagoya
This was my first Japanese flight since joining, so I was really exited to go with Mehdi. It's another long sector, about 10hrs. 
Arriving at night time local made it easier to adjust. We went to bed pretty much as soon as we got in so we got up early the next morning ready to shop. It's winter there at the moment but the weather was nicer than expected. We ate so much food but Loved it! Here I am outside a small restaraunt in the main street. The other pic is of me and Mehdi on board.

Last month Mehdi and I had two great flights together! The 1st was Melbourne- Aukland (a 5 day trip) and right after that we had Nagoya (24hrs).
Melbourne-Aukland is a bit of a killer because the DXB-MEL sector is about 14hrs long, so when you arive in Melbourne your pretty killed! But we had heaps of fun. We flew with a great crew in ecconomy, so we had lots of fun down the back and kept each other awake (and alive!). Our first day in Melbourne was a bit hazy, we arrived early in the morning and decided not to sleep so that we could get a solid nights rest that night as we had to be up again early the next morning to go to Aukland. So we spent the day wandering around Melbourne like the walking dead. The beautiful weather and fresh air revived us a bit, so we found the energy to go to the Belgian Beer Bar for lunch. By the time we got back to the hotel at around 5:30pm we were ready for bed. Our collegues in the next room, who had just got in from Aukland had other ideas. They partied all night and were still partying when we left the room at 6:00am for our flight to Aukland. The weather in Aukland was a bit cooler than Melbourne but still sunny and fresh. We had a nice long walk around Aukland and Green Mussles from the Belgian Beer Bar, and we got back to our hotel ready for that elusive long nights sleep! We were up early the next morning and were on a mission! We did a bit of shopping and went to the local fish market where we got a great lunch of local oysters and fish. Then it was back to the hotel to get ready for our flight back to Melbourne. This is a picture of the Emirates sponsored America's Cup Yaught that was parked in the harbour near the fish market in Aukland.
