Arrived Safely in Sydney

3rd July - Arrived Safely....

Flew with British Airways for the first time, the flight was ok not as nice as Emirates or Ethiad. At least with BA you get the additional luggage at a reasonable price and you get a Laptop bag and a carry on luggage as well which is not offered with other flights. Think next time will pay the additional amount to get a bigger seat or possibly upgrade (ooh get me lol)!!!!

I met a nice lady called Vicky, who sat next to me and we chatted away for hours and spent time together when we arrived at Singapore airport. I did feel sorry for her as she was 5 ft 10 inches and she really did not have much room for her legs, she had also already flown from Glasgow to Heathrow before joining the flight to Sydney and then she was heading to Adelaide to see her brother. 

Singapore Airport was much the same as other airports, and I was very good and did not feel the need to indulge in any Duty Free.

This was the first time that I have flown that my ankles swelled up it was horrible, I am pleased to say they have now gone back down to normal size and no longer look like tree trunks lol ... It was my own fault I forgot to put my flight socks on for the first 13 hrs journey as I went to the wrong gate at Heathrow and had to run all the way from Gate 1 to Gate 34 which was a long way and just made it to the Gate in time.

Arrived at the house around 7am, unpacked and then went shopping for coat hangers and food. I have spent most of the day catching up on missed programmes before making a rookie mistake of falling asleep at 3pm this afternoon and then sleeping through my alarm Doh!!!

So my 9 month adventure starts now and I am looking forward to seeing more sites, meeting more people and popping across to New Zealand to see Kerry as well as popping up the coast to see Keith at Sun Shine Coast.

Will miss everyone back in the UK but as before I know the time will fly by, so see you all in 9 months and keep up with my adventures on my blog................
