Day 2
Practically the
whole of day 2 was spent on board the aircraft.
Including pre flight waiting to take off and and post flight waiting to
be allowed off the aircraft, it was around 17 hours in total. For this reason, there
is not a lot to discuss except the splendor that is first class on Etihad.

| This is actually my cabin!! |
On boarding the
flight I was escorted by an attendant to my first class cabin and offered a
welcome glass of champagne, which I accepted gratefully, I was then left to settle
in before a series of visitors came to see me. My own attendant, two
stewardesses and the Chef who went through the choices of food available to me
throughout the flight. Then more champagne and I was left alone to relax.
I was really
well looked after during the flight and
at various stages was brought food and dink of my choice. During the first lg of the journey, from
London to Abu Dhabi I had requested a Fillet steak served with fries and a whole
roasted garlic and it was delicious accompanied by a recommended Bordeaux
wine. On this leg, from Abu Dhabi to
Sydney, I opted for loin of lamb with herb mash and roasted vine tomatoes, this
time accompanied by a Gruner white wine from Germany. This was even better than the meal on the first leg.

| Yesterday's Dinner |
After a little
walk around the area and a short while in the bar I returned to my cabin and watched
some TV before changing into the PJs supplied and laying in the bed which by
then had been made up for me. It was time to try to get some sleep before
arriving in Sydney early on Saturday morning.
