Day 2 Friday 10 April Manly

Slept very well and had a leisurely breakfast at Jill's before seeing Alex off to work.
Went down to The Bower with Piers, Bear and Poppy and watched them swimming in the seapool.
When Piers took Poppy back for a sleep, Viv and I wandered down the Corso and had ban mi in a Vietnamese cafe.
Back to Jill's for a final pack and shower before heading for Piers' flat to talk.
Piers dropped us off at the ferry terminal just after 3.00 and made our way to Sydney Domestic airport via ferry and train.
Beer and don't once we had checked our bags through to Harare. Virgin flight left just after 6.30. Back row but at least had a spare seat between us. Read and dozed.
Arrived in Perth at 9.30 local time. Stripped searched in Customs!

Moved through transit and upstairs to International Departures. Went through Customs and Immigration safely and relaxed until our flight was called just before midnight. On board SAA280, a comfortable Airbus 340-300. Watched the lights of Perth and the coast disappear before settling down.Read more
