So true.

Flying from CPT to Europe and Africa just seems to go on for an eternity - a daytime flight from CPT and one from BKK to SYD over the outback where these is literally no signs of modern human life for miles and miles are still my most memorable.

I can and do spend hours just gazing out the window listening to my iPod and can't really understand why people choose a window seat but then close the blind (unless they are sleeping of course, I fully understand in that situation).
