Plane

Friday was fun!! My friends Luke, David and Meg met me at work at the end of my shift. We drove down to Bunbury (country town about 2 hours south of Perth) and David flew us back in a little 4-seater plane! He obviously has his pilots license :)
It was super fun, but super scary. Have you ever been in a 4-seater plane!!?? It's like smaller than my car!!!! And at one point, David shook the plane and I thought we were going to drop out of the sky. Luckily, we didn't. We had a safe and uneventful flight (aside from the shaking). The flight itself was really neat. We left Bunbury right after sunset and flew up the coast. Australia is very different to flying over parts of the US because there aren't many major/big cities that you can see. Instead, it's chock full of really tiny country towns separated by many kilometers. So you see little pods of lights, and lots of blackness. Then, as you approach Perth, you see kilometers upon kilometers of lights. And the centre city. It's soo neat and very pretty from the air! And, of course, you can see the shoreline the entire way!!!
