Time for transfer at Schipol was about 55 mins - it was ok no hanging around.
Once on board I thought "ah well looks like I am going to China then" ;)
The flight was long but ok - had a nice comfy seat by window yet sleep evaded me.
Most interesting points for me were the beautiful colours in the sky as night fell.
Later looking down into the dark I saw a city of lights - really bright concentric (almost) circles, a bit like a web – I looked at the flight tracking and saw we were passing by Moscow, I have since looked up a map of Moscow and it definitely was there – it just looked so weird but cool.
Less interesting - watched a few films which I can't remember much about - says they probably weren’t much to write about! But Brave was good and made me laugh.
We practically flew over Nanjing (yet I knew it would be hours before I back-tracked there) - was bit tired by then… yet would I have taken a parachute if I could?… NO WAY – obviously wasn’t 'that’ tired!
