First stop...Perth


Here we are in Perth International Airport, and we could be in a zombie movie. We must be the only people who caught the flight from Brisbane who are continuing on to Dubai; either that or everyone else has gone to a hotel for 4 hours sleep.

My plan was to spend the 4 hours lolling about in the Qantas Lounge, but unfortunately it is closed, as is everything else except for one tiny coffee kiosk! I am thanking the god of travellers for that!

Ross has just found a comfortable lounge area outside the Emirates Lounge and we’ve settled in for the rest of the night. There’s a point for charging phones, and we can spread out all we want- there’s not a soul in sight!

The 5-hour flight across the continent was as uneventful as you can get; after watching “Paper Towns” and eating some chicken noodle salad, I fell asleep for 3 hours. I awoke to Lindt chocolate balls being handed out just before landing.

Ross had a few hiccoughs coming through security, but I breezed through. I don’t know what he had but they checked and double-checked his carry-on, before letting him pass. We were the only people in the whole security hall- quite a surreal experience, because normally the whole place is filled with queues snaking back on themselves.
