The wonderful World of Oz

18.01.20

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in Kansas any more.....

After almost 11 hours we land in Perth....finally! Eaten, drank, slept....still, the flight had certain lengths.

Fortunately, the international terminal is rather small and immigration and customs formalities are quickly completed. Now just waiting for the shuttle bus and off to the hotel, which is right around the corner.

We're not exactly sure how we feel right now. After 17 hours of pure flight time and a total travel time of 24 hours from door to door, the brain is only functioning in slow motion... Tired? Hungry? Exhausted? The answer is always the same: no idea...😂. But it doesn't help, so quickly slipped into summer outfit and off to the hotel restaurant. It's already 8:30 PM and at this time we have dinner. A glass of Chardonnay awakens our spirits and we feel capable of planning our onward journey. Originally we wanted to fly to Sydney tomorrow at 11:45 AM, but the plane doesn't look good. So we decide, with heavy hearts, to take the 7:10 AM flight. Sleeping in is overrated anyway. Well then...hurry up to bed, it's already 10:30 PM and the alarm clock will ring again at 5:15 AM.

Who would have expected that? It's 3 AM and I'm wide awake. At least the doll is still diligently making sleep noises.....but not for much longer. So it's no problem at all to take the earlier flight.

Luckily, we get on right away, and the Qantas colleagues take good care of us! Bubbles, cookies, and restaurant recommendations...there's time for a chat on a 4-hour domestic flight!
