Breakfast

Without noticing it, I fell asleep for 3 hours give and take, and my back is Killing me!
Now I remember why I dislike this flight, too long and the sleeping position sucks still. At least, the food quality have enhanced.

The light have been turned on, certainly what woke me up. Looks like it's breakfast time and this time we all got the same, potato vegetable quiche. Think it's the first time I have tried quiche.

Since we got served breakfast, it will only mean we're almost there!

Flight information











Entertainment

After a satisfied dinner, it's time to find myself some entertainment for the rest of our 11 hours flight. Things on board have really changed since the last time I fly to Hong Kong, so finding some entertainment and lose the track of time wasn't difficult.

Each of us have our own mini screen with remote, where we can decide what entertainment we want for us self, and the options are large! Some few years ago, the options were 2-3 different movies in each category. Now it's up to 2-3 pages in each! And longer ago, when I was a brat, we didn't have this kind of technology, we didn't have a implanted television in each backrest, and choose what to see. Before, it was the airline that chose the movie and we all looked at in a shared screen from the ceiling.

Anyways, I found myself a beginner language courses, where they offer Mandarin and Japanese. It may have been made for children, but I still had fun with it.



Time flew, the next time I looked at the clock, it has gone 4 hours. We are almost half way to reach our destination.



After a quick refresh with some juice and snacks, I found myself a 2012 movie, A Royal Affair by Nikolaj Arcel. "A young queen, who is married to an insane king, falls secretly in love with her doctor - and together they start a revolution that changes a nation forever".

The menu on board

Soon after departing from Amsterdam and the seat light got turned off, we got served dinner. You could choice between Chinese or Pasta.

Without any hesitation I chose Chinese meal, and it tasted ....good?! To my surprise. I am no doubt picky on my food, and airplane food have NEVER Ever been something I have been looking forward to eat, and as long I can remember, I have hated it since I was a brat.

But for the first time in my life, I got a WOW moment. After the realization I was suddenly famished, and as the Lady I am not, I bucket in everything on my "plate" which consisted of three course dinner, Peking duck and pancakes, Yu Xiang chicken with broccoli and rice, and Framboisier (raspberry pâtisserie).

I am now looking forward to our next meal, breakfast <3

The hardest part of the journey

We are now at the final step of the journey before we reach our destination, but it's also the hardest and most abrasive part of our traveling. Our flight time from Amsterdam to Hong Kong is 11 hours. We are going to fucking spend fucking 11 fucking hours in this fucking plane. If that isn't the hardest part I don't know what it then.

Luckily each of us have a mini screen in front of us where we can see the flight information or keep us self entertain by playing games, watch movies or listen to music/radio, look at the menu for dinner and breakfast or even take some beginner language courses (think it's for children).









From Amsterdam to Hong Kong

Looks like we are on time.

We have already waited in 3 hours and we can see our plane docking to our gate.

I think we will be departing without any delay....that is, if I didn't just jinx myself now... anyway, let the hard part start!


Starting our journey to the East

Finally my long awaited vacation is here! Heading to China, Hong Kong for 11 days, and then Thailand, Phuket for 7 days.

The journey itself is not too bad, but with all the waiting and boarding at airports, and not least the time difference, this will indeed be exhausting and boring till we arrive our final destination. 

For now, we will depart from Trondheim to Amsterdam at 17.15, and then hopefully 4 hours and 30 minutes later, we will depart from Amsterdam to Hong Kong

Our taxi to airport arrives around 15'ish... best to get ready <3
