Day 30/31- All good things come to an end

Image
Final days of the holiday day 30 we had the morning free in Melbourne so visited the art gallery and immigration museum, very interesting place.  After grabbing lunch and a coffee it was time to leave for the airport to start the long journey home.  Flight 1  Melbourne to Singapore about 7 hours, so I watched Elvis and Maverick again.   After a three hour layover. Flight 2 began Singapore to London - 13 hours.  Managed to get some sleep but not much.  We arrived at Heathrow just after 7 am, and immediately noticed the temperature drop.   And just like that the adventure was over 😪.    Its been an amazing month with lots of memories created.   I would like to thank Lyn for the opportunity to join her on this trip.     So Monday will be back to work and saving for the next holiday.

Day 27 - Phillip Island

Image
Today is the last day before we get to Melbourne.  We set off after an early  breakfast and was in Cowes by 11.00.   We took a walk down the main street and booked a boat trip for the afternoon.   So got ourselves a subway for lunch !!  The boat trip started near the bridge from the mainland went out to look at some hidden caves and back again.  Once we had our land legs back on it was off to Smiths beach to lie on the sand reading our kindles. Back to where we are staying we had a quick cocktail and then decided to eat in the restaurant rather than go out, and it was very nice.  Next stop is Melbourne where we will he catching up with a couple of friends.
