Java at 36 000 feet

Tuesday 5 Apr 05 0200
The wings just swallowed up Denpasar (on the Indonesian island of Bali), outlined in lights, and the cabin lights just eclipsed the faint hinterland. Two in the morning and the cabin crew is preparing us for breakfast before landing in Singapore. It’s a long night, and putting two breakfasts into the middle of it makes it no shorter.

My son would approve of first and second breakfasts.

A meal over the Java Sea – cornflakes and milk, lit from below by flashes of lightning filling the clouds with a sudden glow.

I have had several first and second breakfasts over the last week or so. I seemed to be getting up really early, then feeling starving hungry around ten. ;-)

Maybe I'm a closet hobbit. I think I'll have some fruitcake.

How old are your son and daughter? I get grumpy before travel as well.

DD is 18 and DS is 15. Both of them are darlings, quite unlike me as a teen! They must take after their mother in that respect.
