Australia Xmas 24

Sadly our last day, so we made sure we did a last wall around Carine Park, say some red tailed cockatoos and our kookaburra again. Had a quick coffee at Trigg beach with Hen and El, then they took us to the airport for our rescheduled flight. With a bit of help we managed the check and the luggage drop, but still a bit nervous about whether we'd be reunited come London! Had a couple of final beers in the sun, then got our delayed Malaysian Airlines flight to Kuala Lumpur (6 hours). A Qantas rep had told me we'd need to collect our cases and re-check them in, but not sign of them and needed to really hurry to get our next connection as the passport control was so stupidly slow. We were last passengers on with 10 minutes to spare! Phew. This was the long haul - 13 hours, watched some films and managed to get some snatches of sleep. On arrival in Amsterdam we discovered our flight had been cancelled due to snow, so pushed onto the next flight ✈️ with BA, which was then further delayed. Eventually took off close to 2pm because of another issue, but we did get our cases back 🧳 Discovered our original direct flight had landed in London at 5.30 am, so we've had to endure 3-legged flight and arrived 8.5 hours late. Qantas you've got a compo claim coming 😬. Eventually home to pick up Charlie at 7.30pm, an epic journey of over 36 hours! However, it's been a wonderful Aussie adventure 🐨 🦫 🦘 🦜🚍Read more
