Late rise as the plane leaves at 2.30PM from Gatwick.
Onto the Tube, well almost, our train credit had expired
and needed to top up and that proved to be a little difficult, as 5 pounds
wasn't quite enough for where wanted to go.
Dragging 21 KG bags around ain't no treat I can tell you.
Finally get onto the Gatwick Train an off to the airport.
Check in, all’s well, though a bit of a wait.
We have spent all our money down to the last 10 pounds so
can just afford lunch. Just!
Then onto the plane for the leg to Dubai.
We have seats right down the back, just two together and
that’s quite good.
7 hours, drags a bit.
Finally out into the heat of Dubai with a quite quick
turnover and then the 12 hour leg to Adelaide.
Now that really drags and drags. Bugger all sleep for
either of us.
On and on it goes.
Touch down, then the wait to get off, through Duty Free,
get bags, through Customs and Immigration with a boot wash for one of my boots
(only one) then taxi and home!
Sweaty and sticky.
