Perth to London

So this is the end of my big overland rail trip from London to Australia & its lived up to everything I expected.

Would I do it again: - absolutely.

Is there anything I would change: - in the grand scheme no, except maybe crossing into Laos while I was so close. I would probably do some more pre-planning for Australia & be prepared for it being much more expensive than on my previous visits.

The best bits: - meeting the Grannies film crew in Russia, drinking good 12p beer in Hoi An, I loved Mongolia & Cambodia, they both deserved more time. My favourate part of Australia on this trip has to be Broken Hill - a real insight into non-indigenous outback Australia & I could easily have spent another week there.

The worst bits: - the almost impossible last minute accommodation search in Perth where I seriously contemplated sleeping in the car.

Getting a one-way flight back to London wasnt easy as most airlines wanted to charge the same price as a return ticket, which is outrageous. Emirates had the best price for a quality airline & they had the best entertainment system I've ever seen - endless brilliant music to build into a persoanl playlist that lasted most of the journey. And loads of current & old movies that I actually wanted to watch as opposed to staring at out of boredom. And, unbelievably the food was actually good. This is a bit annoying really as I'll never be able to cast blanket aspersions about airline food again - but how come so many airlines still serve slop when its clearly possible to serve decent food?

London is wonderfully cold & misty - its great to be home.

  1. Zach found himself remembering something he'd heard Soledad and Leo saying the previous night, about healing. That it was mysterious. That it took time. And that Lucy was just at the beginning. That a terrible thing had happened - two terrible things, really - but they were now over.
    And that Lucy would be okay, in the end. Cheap Flights to Perth | Flights to Perth

  15. Interesting read! When it comes to international travel, I always prioritize a smooth departure, and Heathrow Airport Valet Parking has been a revolutionary for me. The convenience of dropping off my car right at the terminal adds a layer of ease to my journey. Express Parking reassuring to know that my vehicle is in safe hands while I embark on adventures. Thanks for sharing your travel experiences – it's always great to find ways to make the journey as enjoyable as the destination!
