Monday 26th April
We were up and at 'em bright and early today to have a quick breakfast and jump on the shuttle bus to the airport. We had a bit more of a shop at the airport (sorry everyone, not in the Gucci shop or anything remotely like it). We eventually got on the plane and had a very 'good fright' to Kuala Lumpur. I made a big effort to stay awake, in the hope that I'll sleep on the second leg of the journey. I watched 'The lovely bones', followed by 'Sherlock Holmes' and then a bit of 'Toy Story 2' (this one in Japanese, which was interesting!). John watched something else, which I can't remember, but I'm sure he enjoyed it whatever it was. He also took a few good photos from t
window to remind us of the final stages of our adventure. I had to battle the eyelids, but made it to Kuala Lumpur without snoozing. At the airport I made a very feeble attempt to do some of my homework, but I'm too tired and there's too much going on. I'll tell my teacher that the dog ate it. If I tell her that in Japanese, I'm sure she'll forgive me. We were pleased to discover that the Hotel within the airport allows non-checked-in guests to have a shower (for a fee) so that's what we're about to do. It's very hot and sticky in the airport so a shower will be very welcome. The next post (the last post?) will be from Adelaide.
