A coke can in a plane = 2.5hr delay..

The adventure has begun, and it was off to a pretty good start :)

Left Cairns.. not too many bumps..

Arrived in Darwin and met many random people who I had worked with at Borroloola who were also traveling to singapore (small world!)

It was a good thing that there was a mob of us at the airport as we had arrived early (at least 3hrs before the flight... since my flight from Cairns arribved at 9pm.. then I could check in my begs at 10pm .. yay :P) and then the plane was delayed by a further 2 or so hours... no rel explaination until we were sitting inside the plane and the pilot was saying sorry for the delay and explained that as they went to take off in Singapore (to get to darwin) a coke can had been sucked into the jet 'thingo' and they had had to fly a new plane to singapore ... hence the delay..

So it is now almost 9am and I have been (m ostly) awake for 24hrs -yawns- so if this does not make alot of sense then you know why :)

more later when I am awake
