Hi all,
Well we finally made it to London after a long 35hours travelling. We left Perth around 3.30pm on Wednesday and arrived 7pm on Thursday (perth time).
All was going well until we got to Singapore where our flight to Frankfurt was delayed by about an hour as it came in late from Sydney....we thought, no worries we can cope hanging around a bit in Singapore airport...free internet kept us occupied. Finally we were able to go to the departure lounge, with about 400 other people..but i think the lounge was only meant to hold 50 or so! That was cool..we had seats!! Finally got to board the plane and settled into our seats...lucky me i got to sit in the middle seat, next to a guy with a bad cough! Then there was an announcement from the captain to inform us that because we took so long to board we had lost our place in the queue and would have to wait for some time for a slot...GREAT!! Started to get a bit warm in the cabin with so many bodies and not a drink in site but we smiled and said "the joys of travel". At last the captain came on again and said we had got a slot and we were on our way. We started reversing out and then another announcement "sorry ladies and gentlemen..we seem to have a bit of a problem with the nose wheel hydraulics and are going to have to wait for a part, about an hour". Finally got to Frankfurt and missed our connecting flight to London...so we had another 3 hour wait there.

Going through the security at Frankfurt i thought i was going to lose Steve..they gave him a body search and then swabbed the camera for drugs...little bit worried!!
We got here in one or should i say two peices but very tired and couldn't wait to go to bed after having dinner at a little italian restaurant around the corner.
