From Sydney.

I think I might just write about my trip here in real time. So I can remember it.

I got really sick before my flight. Yeh, it was rather unfortunate timing and dosed up on a lot a vitamin c but it didn’t work. I took a lot of medications with me on the flight. But yeh. 14 hours on a flight whilst you’re sick is a new kind of hell lol.

I slept a lot on the flight. I was so tired cause my body was trying to fight whatever virus I had. I would wake up during the flight and then realise we still had 8 hours to go. It feels so bloody long. Just a never ending flight.

I struck up a convo with my seat mate next to me. He told me he was from Queenstown and that he was originally from the UK. I obviously told him how much I loved Queenstown and how lucky he was to live there. He’s been there for 22 years. Bloody hell. Lucky man. We chatted a bit. He was going back to see family and he had already done one leg ie flying from Queenstown to Sydney and laying over for 12 hours. He didn’t leave the airport, bloody hell. And then the 14 hour leg to Dubai and then another 7 hours. Super tiring.

I got off the flight at Dubai and went to my next flight. Emirates is amazing because they make the transit super effortless. They’ve done the marketing down pat, they excel at being the gateway to Europe. I was feeling super tired tho and dosed up on all my meds again cause I was feeling it. I was hungry but I just wanted to feel better. Then hopped on to my next 7 hour flight to Copenhagen. Man, after that 14 hour flight, your whole perception of flights changes. Lol. The 7 hour flight felt like a breeze. Super empty plane too so I got a whole row to myself. Landed, cleared customs and duped myself into spending $10 AUD on a bottle of coke. lol. I fucked up. Ok. Then I took a taxi to the hotel. Another fuck up cause it was rather expensive. But in my defence. It was raining and I was sick and tired and really fatigued. So I had to spend the money. Checked in. And now I don’t know what to do. Should I just have a nap and give into the jet lag or should I go out and discover Copenhagen? Not sure. I’m so tired. Stil sick. Bloody hell lol. I highly recommend not getting sick before boarding a LONG HAUL flight to Europe that’s also a red eye flight. I’m proud of myself for making it this far tho. Can’t actually believe I grew balls to just solo travel to Scandinavia. Sometimes I admire the balls I possess. Lolol. I guess I am just a fuck it yolo person where sometimes I get to a point of thinking oh who gives a fuck and I just do it.

Ok I need to sort out dinner but my legs feel like jelly and they just wanna laze. I’m so tired. But I wanna try to make the most of it. But at the same time, if I don’t then that’s ok too. I’ll just work with myself and see how I go.

Fuck. My hotel is near a port and the fucking siren from the ship just went off. Jump scare bro.
