Now that I am back home, I have time to revist the whole trip in more detail. So, here goes...
I had dinner at my parents place on the Monday night, then took the skybus to the airport. Once there, I had a few hours to kill before catching the plane, which left at 2AM Tues.
The first leg of the trip was to Kuala Lumpa, in Malaysia, where the plane stopped to refuel. We all got to get off the plane for about an hour, which was a much appreciated chance to stretch my legs.
The next leg of the trip ended in Dubai, where I spent a few hours wandering around the airport. The airport is very modern and fancy, with a section of indoor garden and rock pools.
The final leg of the trip was to London, and I arrived in Heathrow at about 8 pm on Tuesday evening. Thanks to time zone differences, it was officially the evening of the same day I had left, despite the fact that I had been travelling for about 26 hours since leaving Melbourne.
My friends Eve and Alex were kind enough to meet me at the airport, and we took the underground train back to their flat, where I was staying for a few days. Needless to say, I had a quick shower, then crawled straight into bed and slept!
