16th Jan 2013...Homeward bound and in the air....

On our way, bags packed, taxi arrived 15 mins early, so we are up and on our way to the airport.
Fair to say the journey there was teeth clenching and butt exercising. The driver obviously thought we would appreciate a bit of 'Top gear' at 5 in the morning. The stig he was not ! but he did get us there and boy were we glad to get out of the taxi.....

Anyway no more chatting, here comes the piccies,

This is Kuala Lumpar International Airport (KUL), funnily enough we did't actually land here, cuz we got budget flights out of Oz, which landed us at the KUL,  LCCT (low cost carrier terminal.......we did't know that at the time, but thanks to Howard, we were soon put right...), we still had to clear immigration and customs, but good job we thought to check when we were due to start the homeward journey because the two terminals are some distance apart...


John does it in style (and yes still wearing the hat!)


Happy days...and we've just realised we've just gained another 4 hours and will soon be getting some more back....

The plane that brings us out of Kuala Lumpar (hot, humid and 40 degrees) and into Muscat in Oman.


and we are up, up and away....


Blue skies....

A view down the plane...

and we land in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman 8 hours later and its hot , breezy and 42 degrees.....and weve gained some more hours....yipppeeeee...


Ahh bless, look at his lollipops.....lol..

Our next plane is filling up.... ready to take us to Heathrow...(funnily enough my Dad and my Uncle Keith were Shell tanker drivers....., don't think they ever filled up an engine this size though...)


and up we go again...

We fly over the Sultanate of Oman..
