Monday 26th Oct 2026

In preparation for my trip to Kuala Lumpur and India I moved from Matthew’s home where I stayed over the weekend. I was there to watch my granddaughter Sophie’s performance as the doctor in the Queenwood scholl musical Matilda. She was superb by the way. I stayed the night on Monday in Rockdale a short 420 bus ride to the airport .Dinner in Rockdale was at Nepolese restaurant. I chose Mo-Mo, Buffalo dumplings

To Kuala LUmpur –

Tuesday 27th Oct 2026

A 10 minute bus ride to the airport and a glide through customs. I was offered a different seat on the plane when checking in so sitting on the plane I had a spare seat next to me. I could sprawl out all the way to Kuala Lumpur. The flight time was 8 hours and 45 minutes in total. At one point we were traveling at 763 kmph and I was very glad of a blanket as it was minus 48 degrees C (this must be have been outside otherwise I would have been a lot chillier than I was).

The flight was 8 hours 45 minutes long. We flew over Australia only to finally leave after around four hours into the flight. This always amazes me that half of a nearly 9 hour flight is over Australia.

This was the first flight that I have taken with access to the Internet. I was able to check my emails, give Judy a couple of progress reports and listen to Spotify audio. Not enough bandwidth to watch a Netflix film but that is not surprising.
