Flight Home

Hey all,

In exactly 13 and a half hours we will hopefully be boarding our final flight back home. We have a stopover in Hong Kong and the flight should last 24 hours. Fingers crossed that nothing to exciting happens unlike last time. We shall be arriving in Sydney on Monday the 11th at the lovely hour of 6:30am and will be welcomed by our sleep deprived families (though they won’t be any where as near sleep deprived then us!)

Yesterday we had a full day in London where we did the free walking tour (lots of fun and took us to places we’d missed or just couldn’t find the first time we were here) and then got lost for a few hours in the biggest book store we’d ever been in! We had to use the elevators to reach the different floors, all 6 of them!!! You can imagine how excited we were and we confess we bought quite a lot of reading material for the plane. We got rained on briefly which i guess is typical in the UK but the weather otherwise is quite pleasant, warm enough for t-shirts but not mind melting hot either.

Action plan for today is to catch the underground to Terminal 3 after peak hour (which is 9:30am and then start he fun process of checking our luggage weight and praying that our bags are organised properly. Then we will eat something akin to hospital food (okay, it won’t be that bad but i doubt it will be healthy) and then the waiting game begins.

So the next time I’ll be writing on this blog we will both be in the land down under, fingers crossed! For those amazing people we’ve met along the way and who are still traveling, good luck and may St Christopher watch out for you in European traffic!!
