Not much to say about arrival home.. you know the story... tired, jetlagged and you face your last challenge- Customs. Unfortunately for us, this was appallingly slow. 4 planes arrived simultaneously. This must have taken them by surprise (do they look at the scheduled arrivals and plan accordingly?). It took an hour to get from the aeroplane to the exit from customs.

The purple line is the queue.. it was HUNDREDS of people long

I had been glorifying Melbourne Airport in my mind. In fact I thought it was voted quite highly by passengers (I was not too wrong here, but Vancouver way outscores it if you look at www.worldairportawards.com). Suffice it to say Melbourne airport let me down. Here's the length of the queue (in purple). It was horrific and the guy herding people into the queues should have got a job at Los Angeles he was so rude.

We had Judy (from Murrells Chauffeurs) to drive us home and she had waited patiently while we negotiated the Customs delay. She delivered us safely home and also updated us on local news and weather. Thankyou Judy.

The end for now.. bye.
