Crikey. Not that Jack Colton. This one. Of Romancing The Stone fame. You know that movie where Kathleen Turner actually gives most men impure thoughts.

Now, according to Jeremy Clarkson, she looks like a boiled horse. Or was that Sarah Jessica Parker. I forget.

Some photos! Taken using iPhone 4 hence the average quality and graininess


Remarkable BBQ in BOG

A not hugely interesting street scene in Bogota

Nice view

The Tu-204 - a very noisy plane

The view from 3A

And another

Nice seatback!

The IFE controller. It looked a lot yellower in reality

Brunch is served. The wrap is not edible.

Are we nearly there yet?

Looking back at the cheap seats

Very enjoyable and nice to see a different tr!
When reading it for the first time I actually went onto Airliners to try and find some cabin shots, but alas, there are none, so I'm pleased that you've posted photos now.

The cabin doesn't look as bad as I thought, it all looks to be in fairly good condition. The food looks a little suspect though, wouldn't surprise me if you found a slice of spam on that plate....!

Hey! Very nice pics and TR, too!!! I'm glad you had a great flight. I'm glad that you are so enjoyable the entire trip to HAV. How is service doing? I'm impressed that you flown on Tu-204 and isn't that too noisy? Why can't put on Airbus or Boeing? How much the times when the restrictions will be lifts?

Do you always whistle when you're pissed?

No, he's just sat on a large Lah-di
