Andrew & Vera Waldby - Fine & Hot and then cold & wet
Well today was the last official day of our fantastic holiday; even though we didnt do anything. I want to thank my beautiful wife for enjoying this wonderful adventure together. We experienced so many different things; and saw som any wonderful sites.
We got up reasonably early and had breakfast and then came back to the room to start packing. Everything went well; knowing this time we would each have 30kg's of checked-in luggage available, rather than carrying too much on board.
We checked out of the hotel, grabbed the rental car, loaded the bags, and drove to the airport. We got there in a reasonable time, and had a chance to relax in the airport for a little while. Our plane was due to leave at 1640 local time. That was a change from the rushed transfers we had previously, and a great way to finish off the holiday in a relaxed manner.
We left a little bit late due to air traffic congestion out of Muscat, but nothing to worry the transfer at Dubai. We arrived in Dubai in the late evening and it was still 36degreesC, but when we arrived in Perth it was cold and raining; with Alysha & Simone meeting us at the airport.
I will give a summary of the learnings, goods and bads later; and will upload some photos to the gallery.
Thanks everybody for reading; and especially thanks my beautiful Vera for a magnificent holiday - love you babe.
