Home again

Thursday 09 April Overcast

We were both awake rather early, trying to adapt between Hong Kong time and UK is quite difficult. After a leisurely breakfast, left the hotel by taxi and headed back to Heathrow. Although I could have quite happily climbed on another aircraft and headed out again, we actually found the signs for the Heathrow Express, the direct rail link between the airport and Paddington station.

The journey only takes about 20 minutes and we then had to stand on platform and wait for the midday train to Bristol. The train was very busy, but we had reserved seats, so less than 2 hours later we were queuing for a taxi at Bristol Temple Meads station. After 43 days and tens of thousands of miles we were back where we started, but after circumnavigating the world!
