So Day 2 begins sat in Dubai departure lounge having been safely escorted there by Justin. Waiting for Call to board plane to Perth.
1 am (UK) – bizarrely I’m now being served my breakfast! Scrabbled eggs and fruit.  I try to sleep but it’s not that comfortable.
7.30 am (UK ) 3.30 pm Perth time – even more bizarre I’m now eating my 3 course ‘lunch’ followed by a glass of white wine.  Contrary to popular belief I don’t make a habit of drinking wine at this time in the morning!
I’ve just had a selfie stick moment (bit like my Visa moment) which I’ve now realised I’ve left at home.  Mandy why didn’t you remind me :?. Ill have to buy another!

Now this is reassuring.  If I spot any on coming planes I’ll be the first to see them! Technology huh.

Only 1 hour 45 mins to go and then I’ll have to get into Perth time.  Currently 4.11 pm. Update later when I get to land of WiFi.

Strangely the couple that have sat next to me for 10 hours and not uttered hardly a word to me, not least because they speak very little English (think they may be Swedish ) have decided they now want to try and converse with me now the plane has come to a standstill!

11.45pm (Perth)- and so to bed after a long day traveling. I was met from the plane as planned by my friend Lorraine who I haven’t seen in 25 years. I’ve been made to feel very welcome. Tomorrow we’re off to Perth so hopefully I’ll something of interest to tell you tomorrow.
