It was a change to a Boeing 747 Jumbo for the flight to Brisbane. I'm sure
the seating area and floor space you get on a 747 is bigger than the A380.
What a lovely flight, had some supper then basically slept till they woke
me for breakfast an hour and a half out of Brisbane. Got through customs fairly
quick but then couldn't check in for the Hervey Bay
flight at the International Terminal because "Qantas don't check in
oversized domestic luggage at that terminal"! So had to lug the
bike box etc onto the transit bus and into the check-in area. Then
couldn't check in at Qantas as it was too early for my flight. Will
drive down to Brisbane in future and park the
car at my sister’s place in Ipswich.
Spent 6 hours waiting at the Qantas Club, napping, wandering
and eating. At least the food and drink at the clubs in Australia
are of an excellent standard; better than the overseas lounges.
Boarded the last flight of this tour on time and flew back
to Hervey Bay where Joe was waiting with my ute.
It was a good sight and it was good to be home after a total 44 hours of travelling
from the motel in Amsterdam.
I can't wait till the next tour in about 3 weeks time.
That one is with a group cycling through Thailand,
Cambodia and Vietnam.
