Day 23

Sydney - Gold Coast

Once again, a good nights' sleep then we were up to have showers and head off again to Sydney International
Airport for our flight between Sydney and Brisbane.  Ye, we were on an international flight bound for Manila, Philippines with a stopover in Brisbane. we were pleased that we were on an international leg as it allowed for us to go the international Qantas Club (which is much better than the domestic Qantas Club) where we had a yummy breakfast of egg and bacon panninis, champers and oj, apple turnovers, croissants and cappucino's.

Had  "nana nap" on the flight and arrived refreshed in Brisbane. But alas, our trip was about to end and we
had another "mishap".  Whilst going through Sydney security, I was selected for a random search and was pulled away from Nick and Jonathan for a "pat down" body search (shouldn't have worn a jacket!!) and whilst I was being searched Nick and Jonathan placed all our belongings on a couple of chairs.  When we met up again, none of us realised that Jonathan did not have his "man bag" with him and we didn't realise until we were getting off the plane in Brisbane.  Long story short - security have located the bag for us and now we just have to make arrangements to retrieve it!

We caught the train from Brisbane airport to Varsity Lakes train station at the bottom of our street and caught a taxi home.  Everything looked lovely and green as we apparently received a lot of rain whilst we were away.

It was good to be home, Simon and Verity had looked after our house and Scooter extremely well and they were now on their way to Tuscany for their 6 month + home stay in Italy. Lucky ducks!
