I HATE computers
Thought I'd finally update before Kat strangled me but as per usual the stupid computer took about 5 tries of me tryping exactly the same thing in before it would let me into the dashboard to update. At least the stupid thing isn't in Turkish any more which is something.
Arrived home last week after about 35 hrs travelling time. So much fun. Not. Flew Emirates. They're a good airline but they seem to have their priorities screwed on which planes they use for which parts of the flights. All the seats have the individual TVs which is all good but not all the planes have the selection of movies etc which is the good and huge selection. Oh no, of course not. So I get the good version from Istanbul to Dubai and then from Melbourne to Auckland and the crap version that only has set movies on the long parts of the trip from Dubai to Singapore and Singapore to Melboune.
Had 3 days in Istanbul with Bec and Simon so did all the tourist stuff - went to the Cistern, (a hig hole with a bunch of pillars where whover designed them is somewhat confused about the concept of putting things the right way up. Out of the 2 carved Medusa heads one was sideways and one was upside down) Topkapi Palace which is huge, the archaeology museum, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and did a Bosphorus cruise. Had good weather too. Nice and warm. Then I come back to NZ where it's bloody freezing cold.
Going to the Bay for Queens Birthday this weekend and the weather is meant to be crap which means I have a feeling I'll spend most of the time under lots of blankets.
