This should actually be titled Day 89 as we lost Day 88 somewhere!

The silver tube journey was uneventful and over very quickly, before long we landed in Brisbane and our quarter of a year on the other side of the world was done.

Now all that remains is to get back into the routine of daily life at the Bate's . I did make one mistake, I got up on Wednesday morning and went to work, this surprised people as I was supposed to turn up on Thursday, so I went home again.

We want to thank all those who provided us with their hospitality and made the trip as enjoyable as it was. There were also 13 hotels in 7 countries and numerous meals in numerous restaurants, pubs, bistros and brasseries, cafes and trattorias.

God bless superannuation !!!
