Tuesday 5th January.
We drifted in and out of sleep for 12 hours. The first couple of hours we had a light in the doorway which kept turning itself on and we couldn't work out why, so it kept waking us up and we would turn it back off. We laughed it off in the end because it was really annoying! We then had a phone call from reception at 09:00 asking if we were supposed to have checked out at 05:00, I corrected her it was 17:00 and also had to laugh, because if we were supposed have been out four hours ago, we probably would have already missed our flight anyway! I got up about 13:00 local time and decided to have a bath and freshen up. Kirsty put a film on which we were both watching whilst pottering around sorting ourselves out. We ordered a pizza from room service and chilled out to eat, then called home before we went to check out at 5pm. We got over to the airport and through to gate on time. There were a lot of people waiting to get on so we went for a walk to stretch our legs, and were messing around doing lunges and stretches so we hope the cameras weren't watching us! They swapped our seats which I was moaning about to Kirsty because we paid to choose our seats, and I said if there were any newborns babies next to me I was getting back off (still scarred from my flight to Thailand the first time) haha. Luckily we just had two children in front who were well behaved. It took about 9 hours to get to Sydney. I watched a couple of films and neither of us could sleep so just tried to pass the time, we touched down in Australia about 08:30 local time on Wednesday morning.

Doreen Thomson Good idea to stay over at the hotel .. Better than racing around the airport. .. And at least you had decent seats ❤️Xx
