Home Again

Arrived in Singapore at teatime. We were meant to have almost 2 hours between flights, and Singapore airport tries to make it easy by lining all the Qantas flights up next to each other, but by the time you get off one flight and get back through security to the next, we had well under an hour to sort ourselves out, and even then we didn't have time for a bite to eat.

Sat on the tarmac for a little while taking on extra fuel, which meant that we arrived a bit late into Melbourne, but even then Brendan was late to pick us up so it didn't matter.

A great holiday. Certainly an arduous one. We felt far more like travelers than tourists. Our bodies have been subjected to all kinds of stress - from altitude to poor hygiene, from badly prepared food to undrinkable water, from extreme cold to hot and humid. However, we've managed to stay well and sane, and have been rewarded with some truly memorable sights.
