35 degrees, who cares!
After a leisurely breakfast we caught the shuttle back to the airport for about 11.00 am. The pollution levels were still very high and as it was so hot we decided to travel in shorts and tee shirts and worry about the cold when we arrived back in the UK.
The 12 hour flight was quite hard work – very noisy plane so it was quite difficult to hear the entertainment through the head sets provided, the food was really not to our taste at all – John hardly ate anything and there was a drunk passenger a row back to our left who managed to stay drunk the entire journey but was only very talkative, not aggressive but it was very difficult zoning him out.
We arrived at about 7 pm UK time (about 4 am for us) and were collected by Peter and Dad. Peter had only just arrived back into the UK from the States in the early hours of today so he had gone home and then come back again for us.
We arrived home at about 9. 00 pm to a very quiet house without Doogie to greet us.
