On our way - completed segment 1

We're now in Sydney, having completed the first leg of our epic around the world trip.  The first leg was on a small 737 that had recently been refitted with new in seat entertainment systems and new leather seats (in Business class ;-) ).  From the Qantas First class lounge, we can see our aircraft - Paul McGinness (named after one of the founders of Qantas) - here's a pic for your benefit:

Next leg is about 7 hours to Singapore, then a short stop and another 14 hours to London Heathrow. Once we arrive, we'll be driving for a couple of hours to our first stop at Bradford-on-avon, near Bath and my sister's place in Dilton Marsh.
