~~ OPERATION ADOBO 2011 ~~
Part 1
Yes, it has been a while since I last posted. The endless demands of work, declining interest in things Philippines and, well, a general feeling of not giving a monkeys testical, pretty much led to a lack of desire to come on here and ramble on to my many disenchanted fans.
I do thank those who have emailed me to enquire of my whereabouts, however the rumour that I moved to North Korea to become a male prostitute is just untrue.
In coming months we will take a photographic look at moments during the journey to Manila with MrX - a journey that was primarily to attend to immigration related business.
One of a kind, this is the sole blue Virgin Blue (or Virgin Australia if you must) jet and at the time of photographing was due to soon go in for a repaint into the boring new corporate white livery.
Although, at time of typing, it was still flying around the country.
MrX seemed a little more excited than usual during this flight. I am unsure of the source for such excitment, though I do have a rough idea. :-)
Take off was from the third runway, over Botany Bay and Kurnell, before turning west to fly out over Bathurst, Bourke, Mt Isa, before turning towards Katherine and Darwin.
Darwin - the first time I have been to this northern outpost of Australia.
Sadly it was just a 2-3 hour stopover enroute to Manila, but still we got a good look during landings and take off.
Am sort of thinking of an extended stay here during a future trip.
Ahhhh yes, you know when you are in Manila :-)
More exciting adventures to come!
