The Flight Out

On Monday 10th, January We departed from Heathrow terminal 3 on a QANTAS A380 bound for Melbourne via Dubai.

The flight was about as good as a 22 hour flight could ever be. The seats were comfortable, the choice of food, booze and entertainment pretty good and the service excellent.

We got some sleep at roughly the right times (night-time in Melbourne?

We landed at Mebourne at around 10pm local time, endured the usual waits in line before hoping onto the shuttle bus which dropped us at Southern Cross Station in central Melbourne.

Our hotel was a five minute walk away and so we checked-in to the Holiday Inn on Flinders lane just before midnight on Sunday 11th.

Wide away and full of the joys of spring, we turned in for a suppriningly good night’s sleep.
