Travel is always an experience and door-to-door it has taken 25 hours to get home. This involved a two and a quarter hour transfer from the hotel (involving 2 ferry crossings) – a 2 hour wait for our first flight, and 1 hour flight to Bangkok, and then a four or five hour lay-over in the airport before the UK flight.
The shops stretch for nearly a kilometre along the 4th level, but at the departure level it is quiet and relaxed and the reflections of people moving about the concourse can be glimpsed in the curved windows.
The flight was busy, so not as comfortable as that going out – but it landed on time. It was nice to be home and await the confusion of Heathrow baggage handling (in Thailand they tell you the carousel that your luggage will be on before you land – at Heathrow we waited 25 minutes for them to put it on the display and another 20 minutes or so for any but priority luggage to arrive.
Urban-cub and her friend (nickname yet to be selected) were waiting for us to whisk us back to the coast.
It’s nice to be home… but already missing Cousteau-cub & the Coventry Hobbit

Glad your trip home was as pleasant as it can be. Feeling cold yet? nfor coming out..the coventry hobbit and myself miss you already too...x
Glad you're home safely and missed the "trouble" sp much on the news here, supposedly in Bangkok.
The trouble was very real be isolated to a very small part of Bangkok. It certainly had no impact on the trip.
Trust that your move to Germany went well.
The move has gone reasonably smoothly - apart from losing three files I now desperately need and can't trace...
Settling in slowly and adjusting to the language...
