A 12,000 Km Smiley

We had window seats at the back. A great spot because we got a little extra room between us and the window to have stuff handy. Don’t go for the very last row as its hard up against the window and closest to the loos.

The flight path from Sydney to Buenos Aries was a perfect silly grin from ear to ear, 12,000 Km long. That was the traditional perspective of things. When viewed from the perspective of the South Pole, it’s almost a perfect straight line!

Alledgedly, I slept for a few hours. I don’t remember.

Snapped this as we raced double speed to a sunset.

We passed close to Antarctica but solid cloud cover blocked any view. We also passed near Ushuaia where our ship departs. A parachute could have saved some time. But the cloud cover was again solid.

I think global warming has put the water cycle on steroids. More heat, more evaporation, more clouds, makes sense to me.

The flight was non-stop and only 12 hours. Another reason for a big smiley.
