We had the usual boring flight with only the in flight movies, meals and a change of flights at Bangkok to help relieve the monotony.
Our first glimpse of the sunrise over Australia.
Its that time when we try to recognise our position by what we see below. This is Warragamba Dam which is to the south west of Sydney so we must be going to approach Sydney airport from the east, over Botany Bay.
just crossing the coast before heading up to Sydney.
When the children were growing up we spent a lot of time on the beach in the upper part of the photo. It is a very safe beach with a shallow lagoon behind it and good shade areas. The beach is called Wattamolla and is in the Royal National Park to the South of Sydney.
Heading up the coast, looking towards the Georges River.
Passing San Souci, Ramsgate and Brighton Le Sands before turning in for the final approach over Botany Bay.
And we have touch down! Its good to be back home again.
We are being met by Becky, Graham and the boys. Inside the terminal it was absolute chaos! I don't understand why the Airport authority cant get it sorted. It may well be early in the morning, approx 08.00, but surely they could arrange to have more than the bare minimum of staff on duty. They must realise that everyone just wants to get out of there so why not be more efficient and then wouldn't have so many irate passengers and the growing reputation as the worst, and most expensive, airport in the world. I wont even mention the backlog at both customs and immigration. OK, whinge over.
When we finally got through we were met by the family and bundled into a mini bus that Graham had hired to get us all home. It was cold!! Great to see them all but especially a very excited Alex and Ben who we had really missed. The house was as cold as we expected but with the fire lit and the heating turned up, it soon began to get comfortable.
We have had a great time with lovely people and visited places new, all I have to do is to get my body clock back to local time.
