~~ 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!
