Well I finally got these pics uploaded, if anyone wants to know anything else or see any more pics just ask, I have around 1300 of them! I've tried to keep it brief, so there are some large gaps in time.
Here they are:
Holding at 34 in a Jetconnect 733:


Wellington City:

Pretty Average shot of other a/c at Auckland:

My home for the next 11 hours:

This thing has HUGE engines!

Cathay A340:

More aircraft:

If you thought the Engines were huge, check out the wing!

Banking over South Auckland turning towards Australia and beyond..

All I needed, although I guess the Pepsi was a bit of a no-no biggrin.gif

At FL360:

Australia, all I would see for the next few hours:

I was getting bored/tired by now:

It's finally getting dark over Indonesia, with one hour to go. By this stage it was 11pm back in Auckland

Land, finally! Part of the amazing terminal in Kuala Lumpur:

A few hours later, in Rome. You should all recognize this landmark..

And at the Colosseum. Could you tell we were tired?

Inside:

A couple of days later, heading from our villa to the Amalfi Coast:

It was easy going once we reached the Autostrada, 130km/h speed limit which no one seemed to obey laugh.gif

This is why I don't spend too long in front of the comp biggrin.gif Coming down the hill from Monte Cassino, which was on the way.

The Memorial at Monte Cassino. This thing was huge, and it really hit home how bad it was when you saw all 4,000 of the gravestones.

Back on the road again:

By this stage we were getting pretty used to seeing this. There were still BMW's and Audis flying past when we were at this speed:

We made it to the coast, and it was awesome. thousand foot hills rise straight out of the ocean, and there are towns on them! This is one of the few beaches:


Second bit to come later!

I remember that MAS flight as if I went on it three years ago and was on a 747 on the left hand side in seat 50A.

Do you have more pics of the WGN-AUK leg?

Nope sorry I was trying to save battery. It was cloudy pretty much the whole way up so we didn't see much. I have a 733 and a 772 takeoff vid which I will post later. winkyy.gif
