Brisbane to Taipei - We're on our way

Capt'n Charlie and myself left a dreary Brisbane day to start our Wgc2010 adventure. After a delayed departure due to the in-flight entertainment malfunctioning (what, no movies?) we commenced our 1st leg of the outbound journey. Before long the in-flight system came back to life and we all breathed a sigh of relief. 3 movies, an arcade space invader game and some music later we arrived at Tiapei.
Nicely summer here, 28degrees at 9pm and that lovely Asian diesel fume atmosphere. A short shuttle bus ride later and here we are sitting in the Novotel with free internet and a toilet with more buttons than Captain Kirk's seat.

Many thanks to all the well wishers today and especially Leschy for greeting us at the airport, possibly just making sure we left the country.
Tomorrow is our courtesy tour of Taipei and a late departure on the leg overnight to Vienna.

Yesterday I received an SMS from the intrepid Allan and Dave, they had only 400km left to drive and so are probably happy at Prievidza.
