5 Hours and Counting

In 5 hours we'll head by taxi to the airport. It's been a thundery night here in Perth and now the wind is blowing. The pets are all inside and don't want us to leave (that means going outside for them).

Todd and Leah took us into the city last night for THE best Indian I have ever eaten. We had the Queen Mary banquet which was amazing. The food just kept coming. I paticularly enjoyed the samosas and tandoori fish from the entrees, the tikka masala chicken, the prawns, and the spinach dahl from the mains. We also got breads, dips pappadums and many more delicious dishes. When the waitress collected our (finally) empty serving bowls she asked if we would like any more! as it was an unlimited banquet! It's a big, modern, airy BYO restaurant which is unusual for Indian too.

I've called Thai airways and we can carry on luggage as normal to Bankok today but tomorrow we'll only be allowed our wallets and passports and prescription medicine to Heathrow. It's a bit of a bugger that that is the long haul, but I guess we'll survive.
