Our main course tonight is a Thai Airways "book the cook" speciality - an idea borrowed (and extended) from Singapore Airlines, Thai allow First Class passengers to select (sometimes even online) from a wide selection of custom meals prior to the flight, so that regular travellers don't get bored with the normal menu. We've chosen "Tornedos a la Sompote", the signature dish of Thai's head Chef, a fillet of beef in a distinctive Thai-Style Tamarind and Red Wine sauce.

After a film and a good night's sleep, we awake well on our way to Sydney, and, over breakfast, we (somewhat belatedly!) exchange introductions with our nearest fellow passenger, who turns out to be Flyertalker mhen! (and it was, in fact, she and her traveling companion, who we shared a buggy with last night, but I guess we were too engrossed in our route march to the end of the E-Pier for pleasantries!) She advises us that the approach to SYD generally affords a wonderful view of Sydney Harbour, and, sure enough, Willard looks out of the window, and the Harbour Bridge is right there below him!

On arrival at Sydney, we find buggies waiting, but sadly none of them are for us. Willard hopes very much that this fellow ursine companion is acting as a mascot for the Airline, as, if this is an example of how errant Bears are punished in Australia, Willard is not sure he wants to stay here!
