The view from my "office"

The office for 5 nights. Meriton suites Bondi Junction 5 nights.

And last nights views from the bedroom balcony.

No "harbour glimpses" to use Sydney Real Estate speak (ie if I stand on the toilet and crane my neck out the window I can see the water)?
I can see my gym from there!

There used to be a secret Maccas down below with great city / harbour views but they ripped it out a few months ago!

I hope you didn't get the 350 bus from the airport?
 
The temporary London office has now moved to Hong Kong on the final stopover of our trip

First up the flight on AY. I read reviews are mixed on the J seat but I found it really good. Great width and really comfortable. The menu is for the Hong Kong leg. The predominantly Hong Kong based crew were a bit hit and miss.

The Nut's departed Chiang Mai this morning for Singers. Chiang Mai International's a decent dual purpose airport that's serviced by a variety of domestic and international airlines such as JeJuair, Eaststar Jet and HKexpress. For today's flight we were on Scoot.

Check-in and customs was pretty efficient but we were early, erring on the side of caution. Airside had mostly gift shops, a massage joint and a couple of cafes. Can get a beer from most shops for less than 100 baht. No bars, just grab a can and sit in the departure lounge 😐.

Departure lounge. Carry-on checked and approved. Qantas, DeathStar Virgin?

...and we're off!

Booked the exit row and pre-ordered a meal for the three hour flight to SIN and well worth it. Great service, meal was fine, very efficient and friendly. If your meal isn't served within 20 minutes, you get a refund! Qantas, DeathStar, Virgin - could you do at least one of those things?

..and before you know it we've landed in SIN. Cleared customs and got to the hotel within the hour...

..and dinner at Clarke Quay. Off exploring tomorrow!!
