Una notte di stelle

Montreal-Frankfurt. A 7 hour 55 minute flight. One of the smoothest flights I have ever taken over the Atlantic.
As usual, the sequence of events on board went something like this: take-off, reading, dinner, movie, sleep, breakfast, landing. So far, nothing exceptional. The only problem is that the ‘sleep’ part never took place! Thank God, the night went fast because I was travelling West: I saw the sunset, and the sunrise was already on the horizon just after a few hours. And I was never able to sleep!

This time I was accompanied by a romantic sky: a bright little slice of moon and a million stars. It seemed I was closer to them..

The movie on board was Eon Flux and the dinner was quite good. A good-sized portion of roast beef with sweet green peas and roasted potatoes. I chose the red wine. Air Canada was serving a nice crisp young blend of Syrah and Grenache from France called Ile De Forge.

It is 7.00 AM, April 3 (1 AM in Ottawa) and I am in Frankfurt now, at a coffee shop called Goethe slurping my first European cornetto. I can tell I am in Europe. Everybody smokes in the airport!

Oh oh... I am starting to yawn...
I have to keep going and wait another 12 hours until tonight to go to sleep! That's the trick to fully adjust to the new time...
