Home in Melbourne.

We are home in Melbourne. Tonight we get to sleep in our own bed!

After our day at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park in Vancouver on Saturday (27/7) we caught the train to the airport. Our flight left about 9.20pm (2:20pm Sunday in Melbourne) and we arrived ahead of schedule in Sydney at 5:15am this morning (Monday). A long flight. Being so early meant we were extremely quick through immigration and customs. Our flight to Melbourne however kept being delayed and didn't leave until about 9:10am today. By the time we reached home it was a bit after 12:30pm so we are rather tired. These long flights are pretty brutal regardless of the class of travel when you don't get much sleep. They are getting tougher as we age.
I have decided long flights are a bit like childbirth. Not fun to go through but you tend to forget how bad the pain was and go ahead and plan more if you want to go overseas again (or have another baby)!

Qantas has not been (and still isn't) my favourite airline but the service this trip was very impressive I must admit. We have had a mix of airlines on this Round the World trip. Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, Canada Air and Qantas.

It's always nice to arrive home after being away. We have been incredibly fortunate to see so many amazing places. It took a lot of planning but was certainly worth it. Our epic adventure has finished and so this is the last entry of this travel log.

The big question now: Where will we plan to go next??Read more
