October 5 - 7 Raro - Papeetee (Tahiti) - LA - London - Home

SUN yet again!!

We get up pack our bags (cos we are going home) and run out to take pictures. Sit about lazing in the sun before snorkelling one last time and then lounging on the beach. It's really hot , the sun very intense. I get burnt.





A few of us are leaving together - the 2 Scottish girls, Frances and Tamara and Nick the London bloke (guy with the cowboy hat). Have decided to get drunk courtesy of Air New Zealand. We slip into the First class lounge at the airport. We last about 2 minutes before we are promptly booted out - a whole minute more than I thought we would last (Success!).

We are on our way to LA via Tahiti.......Many hours later we arrive into LA. We are supposed to stay one night in LA before boarding the plane next day. Net and I have decided why stop now? -rather than spend another night we might as well carry on with the journey home. We quickly run to the ticket desks to see if we can change our tickets a day earlier. Luckily there is a flight in a few hours time and seats available for both of us. Like at the beginning we are getting on different flights for our LA - London leg. We check in and say our goodbyes and get on our respective flights.

.........many more hours later I finally arrive into London. Thank god! I am exhausted having travelled more than 30 hours (I lost count/ track with the different time zones crossed)

The end
