We reversed our journey out, so flew first to Brunei Airport. Here they seem to have made a lot of improvements in six weeks - new sitting down toilets were a definite bonus for our four hour wait! Next was Dubai, yet again a purely dark experience, so we could just admire the lights of the tall skyscrapers. Finally in terms of air transport, we flew to London Heathrow. It's felt homely being back in the UK, where you can breeze through passport checks and not be bothered by ridiculous queues for bio security and having to declare that you may have worn your shoes outside. Sitting on the train I'm much warmer than the freezing underground, and admiring the snowy scenes outside the window.
It's odd to think that when we started the journey in sunny Melbourne, shorts and flip-flops/thongs/jandals were definitely the order of the day. However upon touch down in the UK it was clear that more substantial clothing was required, cue whipping out shoes trousers, coats, and jumpers which had all deliberately been packed at the top of the luggage, and were now very much welcome.
It is going to take a couple of days to acclimatise to the new time zone and the weather.
