Circus + 21 hour flight = aches and pains

0

I flew from London to Sydney over the weekend and the afternoon before my flight I had been booked into a "mystery event" by my sister in law as an early Christmas present. Turns out the present was an afternoon learning circus skills! It was great fun and my wife and brother were there too (sister in law made some lame excuse about being 8 months pregnant). We started off with tightrope walking, then some juggling, then onto the trapeze and finally a session building human pyramids.

All good stuff, but my advice would be after swinging about on a trapeze for a while don't sit on an airplane for 21 hours or you'll end up stiff and achey all over!

I flew Etihad which I hadn't used before and it was fine - good food, nice wine selection and the inflight entertainment was ok but not super extensive. Also, don't stop over in Abu Dhabi if you want to play online during the wait for your connection as gambling sites are blocked by the state!
