It was a long journey but at last we are home safe and sound! We left Frankfurt international airport at about 12pm Saturday, landed in Malaysia 14 hours later and straight away checked into the airport hotel for a much needed sleep.
Worst hotel ever, but god I needed that bed so it was worth it! The lobby itself is quite nice but as soon as you enter the corridoors to the rooms it starts to become worrying. Holes in the dirty carpet floor, stains everywhere, musty smell coming from somewhere I don't even want to know about. In our room it was much the same.. leaking toilet, stains everywhere on the carpet including a very distinguished iron burn right by the bed. But, when you are desperate you just have to look beyond all that, and beyond that was a bed with clean sheets calling my name!
We got 7 hours sleep, showered and then checked out as quick as we could! After that it was more like what didn't we do.. we had another 7 hours in transit which we spent walking around inspecting every store, surfing on every free WiFi we could find, and I think I tried on about 15 pairs of shoes (as you would expect of me since I am the shoe Queen!) but surprisingly didn't buy any.
Boarding the plane to Adelaide it felt like a small weight had lifted, the heavens had opened up and we were finally on the last leg of our journey. We tried to kill time by watching movies... Red Dog... not exactly the best choice of movies to watch on a plane. It's a fabulous movie and I absolutely loved it, but I cried my eyes out at the end which seemed to worry a few other passengers lol. After that episode we tried to get some rest, took a sleeping tablet but nothing seemed to knock me out.
7 hours later, I had the biggest smile on my face as our plane touched down at Adelaide International Airport, 8:15am Monday morning where the temperature was already 29 degrees with blue sky and sunshine! I have never been so greatful to live in a country as beautiful as this. I think we take for granted sometimes the things we have at our fingertips, but today I appreciate them all!
Mum of course was there to greet us at the airport, camera snapping like paparazzi, and for a minute there I thought I could be someone famous! Nope, double check, still me!
So we headed home to our beautiful house, cuddled our puppies, unpacked, grocery shopped, had a nap, got on the exercise bike and then headed out to watch the sunset at the beach with our two puppies in tow. As usual it was amazing, and an amazing way to top off an amazing European holiday.
Now its time to rest.
