Saturday 17th March
Home at last! How very quiet it is here.
We got very little sleep on the plane so we've got that dozy floaty hung-over feeling. About an hour after we took off - around 2.00am Adelaide time - we were served with a full meal. I would have preferred 'lights out, goodnight' but the smell of Malaysian food was too good to resist. Once we were stuffed full, John settled down to finish watching "The Artist" which he'd started on the way over, and after suffering through "Breaking Dawn" (why did I do that?!), I tuned into Norah Jones singing duets with various artists. I just turned it right down and let it play over and over. It was very soothing relaxing music, but still didn't get me off to sleep. We hit some quite bad turbulence, of the "CABIN CREW, BE SEATED" type, a few times. Even Norah Jones couldn't help me to relax through that!
We finally landed in Adelaide, went through the formalities and were picked up by our friend Colin. The traffic seemed so orderly! The white lines and traffic lights have meanings here, and everyone obeys them. I loved the crazy chaos of Vietnam and would happily go again, but for now, it's back to the calm of little old Adelaide.
Xin chao Vietnam!
