Monday 26'th

Departing Vejle at 6.03 am - with 4 hours of sleep in the bag. Well - I will be sleeping on the trip - and anyway - I couldn't do it in advance due to the exitement.

In Copenhagen a little before 9 a.m - then by bus to Kastrup Airport. Fast check-in and ready for the flight to Singapore.

Departure with Singapore Airlines at 11.30 am - exectly. Pretty fancy flight taking about 12 hours. That's a long time eventhough you could watch the movies and play the Nintendo on a small screen built into the seat in front of you. Saw "The Full Monty" - and some stupid action film featuring Anthony Hopkins. Can't remember the title. Not worthy for remembering.

Playd some golf on the Nintendo. 132 strokes above par in the first round was not to impressive. The flight itself was - boring.

Food was ok - but looked more impressive on the menu. The spirit in the plane was like on a charter-plane. A lot of people would be continuing on to Australia. The flight went past Moscau, cross Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladest, Thailand and Malaysia. It feels strange to cross hight above places like Kabul and Bangladest with so much death and poverty. Above Malaysia there was a huge thunderstorm - very impressive

Tuesday 27'th

Landing in Singapore at 7 am. local time. Absolute bomber - me of course, not Singapore. This was just the time to go to bed, but that was kind of impossible. The flight to Sydney has been resceduled from 10 am to 11.30 am. Slighthly panic. On the first schedule I would be in Sydney at 9 pm - og and key for the hotel should be picked up at midnight. Now nothing much should go wrong -and I would be late

Uses the time in Singapore looking around in what should be the most efficient airport in the world. Changi it's called. ...
