Once we had
negotiated the logistics of the mini bus transfer to Heathrow Airport and checked in all
our luggage, we could relax a little, and bunker down for the two flights
home. The kids were in good form, and enjoyed making some noise on a communal piano, before we boarded the Airbus A380 aircraft.
The flights again went well, and
despite sleeping for less time, Xavier behaved very well. We once again availed ourselves of the first
class Emirates lounge in Dubai, where we had a nice meal, and the kids played
for a while in the small games room.
Upon arrival in Melbourne we were met by Kate, Sarah, and David who drove us home to 23 Radnor St, Camberwell. On our doorstep when we arrived was an esky full of essentials and treats from our caring friends the Johnson family. It was Thursday 24th July (the day before Grace's 10th birthday), and after an incredible 103 days away, it was nice to be home.
