Survived the first hop of our flight to Singapore. We have a two hour wait for our connecting flight to Heathrow.
Discovered something at the duty free in Melbourne that could have left us out of pocket - and two good bottles of whiskey confiscated. According to the girl in the shop at the airport, UK customs don't recognise the security enclosures used by them in Melbourne. Apparently, if we tried to take the alcohol through Heathrow and onto our connecting flight to Manchester, they would confiscate it! Seemed odd to us but we took her advice and will see if we can stock up on duty free alcohol at Heathrow.
We had good seats at the back of the plane where the rows of three seats turn into two seats. Unfortunately we both had people behind us that thought it was OK to stick their knees into the back of our seats! If you're reading this you inconsiderate so-and-sos, may you get seats surrounded by screaming kids on the next leg!
We watched Australia and then started to watch Mary and Max but the pilot and copilot kept cutting across the film and we kept missing bits. By the time we rewound and started again he'd cut across with another vital announcement re forms we didn't need to fill in or something. So we haven't seen how it ends yet. Perhaps on the next leg - if I can stay awake that long :-)
One hour to go...
