Terra Australis - 2012
on Ils1976's travel map.
Although I tried a couple of times, I didn’t manage to sleep well during the flight. This of course isn’t such a big wonder, cramped seats will do that to you and I can’t help but miss the spacious seats of a Qantas flight. British Airways sucks if you ask me!
I tried to fall asleep a couple of times, but in the end I just gave up hope and I resorted to watching movies till we landed in Heathrow. The first one that I watched was “Hotel Transylvania”, but I was a bit disappointed by my initial choice. Because I wanted to watch another cartoon, I ended up choosing a Pixar production called “Up”, which surprisingly enough was more to my liking. I really liked to movie and the story it tells.
As soon as this movie ended, we’ve got an announcement that we were almost in Heathrow and I was just so happy to get out of this damn plane and hoped to stretch my legs for a bit.
We haven’t had a decent breakfast since yesterday, so our first priority was to look for something to eat. After walking for a few minutes, we found the perfect spot at Giraffe. It has an African feel to it and quickly enough we found a nice enough seat. There were just so many choices but in the end I went for the stacked Blueberry & Banana pancakes with maple syrup and Tania’s choice of the day were scrambled eggs on toasted rye bread with cherry tomatoes.
It all looked so yummy and needless to say, together with a few cups of tea it went down in a jiffy.
We still had some time left to do a bit of window shopping before we had to go back to our gate to board our last plane of this trip towards Brussels.
And about an hour later it actually happened … 5 weeks of travelling had finally come to an end and the only thing left for us to do was to reunite with our wonderful family and drive back home.

I don't know how I would have faired with all those early mornings (I am not at all an morning person!) but sound that you had an amazing trip! If to be honest I am little bit jealous, I have yet to see Australia!
