The trip home was long, gruelling work. I checked out of St Catharine's at 10am on Sunday. Then I caught a coach down to Heathrow airport in London, arriving at about 3pm. I checked in myself and my bag at 6pn. My luggage limit for the trip home was 30kgs: my huge suitcase came in at 29.7kg! Lucky...
I then waited around in the airport until 10pm, when my flight left to Singapore. That flight was just over twelve hours. I got to Singapore 6pm local time (about 10am my time), and waited around in the airport for nearly seven hours until my flight to Perth left at 1am. Purgatory is being stuck in an airport with no cafes when you're jet lagged out of your brain and really want a cup of tea.
Eventually I boarded to go to Perth, that flight was just over four hours, and I arrived in Perth 6:30am local time - Tuesday. At the end of my journey I worked out that I'd been on the move for just over thirty-seven hours. It's now Friday and I'm almost back to normal!
Here's some photos from the trip home:
