Flying

Now that I’ve been travelling quite a bit lately, I’ve spent some time on planes. I usually choose an aisle seat at the front because it’s more quiet and provides some space for my inconveniently long legs. However, stretching the legs into the corridor usually backfires painfully since people keep stomping on my feet and the stewards know that in a fight between the food trolley and my knee, usually the trolley comes out winning.

On the EasyJet flight from Nice to Bristol I got lucky, though, and got a window seat by the emergeny exits. It was actually the first time I got a birds-eye view to the area in which I’ve spent the past few months. I noticed it’s really small: after a minute of climbing up I could see all the way from Grasse to Monaco easily, and Italy would’ve been visible had it not been misty and humid. It was interesting.
