Well, I made it to Burnie – in one of these!
As many of you know, I am a nervous flyer at the best of times, so to walk out onto the tarmac, climb a ladder, into a plane with propellors – was a totally new experience for me. I have become somewhat used to the large jet planes, but the Saab 340A was actually not too bad – a quite pleasant flight.
Burnie is lovely – they had huge storms last night, causing a bit of water damage to our facility here, glad we didn’t come 24 hours earlier! The work went better than expected – there is certainly going to be some new challenges though. I’m travelling with my boss (who is based in Singapore) so it is actually a great opportunity to get to know him better.
I don’t think I’m coming down with anything – feeling okay. I actually got out for a short run tonight. It was dark, and a strange town, so I didn’t venture too far afield. Only a bit over 4km, but lots of hills. Still probably not enough to work off the two restaurant meals we’ve had today.
The wedding last night went well too, great to see some wonderful young people embarking on a future together.
