We flew for around eight hours and stopped at Hong Kong airport briefly. I was hoping to get a souvenir from Hong Kong but it was 6am on Sunday local time and everywhere was shut.
We arrived back at Heathrow an hour late. Due to the wet weather conditions all the planes had to delay their landing and so we spent an hour flying round in circles waiting to land.
After collecting our luggage I said goodbye to my sister and the kids at the airport and caught an underground train to Kings Cross. Due to the delay in landing I had to rush over to St Pancras and was just in time to catch the train back. The train was overfull and I had to stand for the entire journey.
When I got off the train there were no taxis at the station and, together with half a dozen others, had to ring a few taxi firms to see if anyone could come and pick me up. Eventually a few taxis arrived and I headed home.
I loved the time I spent in Australia and very much hope to return one day.
