Well that was all a bit stressful. Of course you have to drop off a rental car with a full tank of petrol, but were there any petrol stations on the way to the airport? Of course not! Almost ran out and had to drive off in any old direction before I found one. So, have filled up Gutless, dropped him off and am now sitting at the airport in the waning Aussie afternoon sun with way too much time to spare. Am also about to run out of pre-paid mobile broadband, but that's okay.
Really, this trip as been fantastic and have achieved more than I could have hope for, but am so ready to fly home to Rob, them puppies and leafy Gloucestershire. Mind you, Al and I took Koda the naughty Staffie for a walk this morning and again I was struck with how 'blue' the Blue Mountains are. Apparently it's something to do with evaporating euclyptus oil!
So, a ghastly 28 hour journey awaits, with a 5.5 hour stop over at Kuala Lumpur, which means arriving there at approx 5.00am 'my time'. Apparently one can rent sleeping cells there, but they have no roofs so you can hear announcements.
So, this is me, signing off for now.
