Surrey Hills Thursday

Had an uneventful flight from Singapore to Melbourne. We were upstairs (still in cattle class) in an Airbus, in the 2 seats beside the window. We were late leaving Singapore because the torrential rain meant that the airport staff couldn’t load the plane. Passport control was fast and efficient with the E passport, but the airport is trialling a new method of customs check and the single queue stretched for well over 100 metres. Took ages to get through. 

We were grateful that Laura was at the airport to pick us up and take us home. She didn’t get back home to Frankston South ‘til after midnight.

This holiday was fantastic, a holiday of beautiful, picturesque villages, mountains, canals, cable cars, funicular railways and all sorts of things. It was probably the best holiday we’ve had. It was great seeing Di, Barry and family in Dover, then spending time with Joan and John, both on the canal boat and at their house in France, then catching up briefly with Erich and Ursula in Germany, then Debbie for a meal in London. Such a pity we didn’t have time to spend longer with all of them.

'Til next holiday.
