Enroute to Brussels

At 20000 feet now. I have never had the experience of blogging from this high up in the air. I mean normally when I type a long message, I am usually in a comfy(-ish) chair with my feet planted firmly on terra firma, or it's closest equivalent. Currently, I am sitting in a comfy chair typing away at a 36000 feet, travelling at 1022 km/h (ground speed). I must admit it is a cool feeling.

We took off pretty much on time, and looking at the map (which nicely tells me that it is not showing any political boundaries) we are almost past Ottawa and are about 20 minutes away from Montreal.

MT and PD are in the back, and PD's description of the takeoff was "FU[bleep]ING AWESOME". Yes, it was all caps and the reason I know the exact casewas because it was sent to me via the plane's interseat communicator. Yes, we have those.

It is just around dawn time in New Zealand, Brussels is showing up as late-ish evening. Let's see when we land. More pics from Brussels.
