It's been okay; could be better, could be worse. The 9th hour, taking us from 2/3s of the time to 3/4 done, was tricky. It was part of the night time stretch. Zachy ended up falling asleep not that long after his usual bedtime, buy Lukey just didn't fancy it...and there were some minor 3 yr old dramas...
Just under 3 hrs till we to get to KL and Zachy's already woken (less than an hours sleep for him!) and they're just about to turn the lights on. We will then try and stuff some sort of chicken sausage breakfast into our bodies that think it is 8:30pm.
Ness doin a good job of trying to settle Z again but don't reckon it's gonna fly....
Almost at the halfway point in the total journey; 10.5hrs to go till we get to Perth....

Skipped this part in error. By rights it should have it's own post, but due to keeping the order, I'm just gonna slap it in here!
2nd Flight & Arrival
For some reason Zachy loved being in the toilets on the plane (??!). Coulda just been the bright lights, but whatever it was I took him there to hang out a few times; nice.
Lukey passed out halfway through our stopover. Proper passed out. When We tried to wake him he was like some eye rolling zombie; couldn't walk to the gate or nuttin!
Stopover dragged a little (as did the 2nd flight). Zachy was really getting passed himself even in the airport...but still looked cute!
I really liked this view, just something about the light along the edge of the plane you can see throigh the window...actually that's probably delirium setting in....but I'm going to use the excuse that I don't think the picture really captures it! (click pics to see full size/zoomed)
Out of interest (?) the flash was required to acheive the above. Otherwise it just looked like this....
Both are just iPhone camera pics. Too tired to get the proper camera out!
After some time on the plane, I finally managed to get him off to sleep in my arms, after much rocking....and one of the Malay staff shouted "oh hello baby!" and touched him...woke him straight back up. She got my "I haven't slept for a day" deathstare and promptly ran off; profusely apologised later!
Lukey was just out pretty much the whole flight, poor thing!
Due to the time difference and flight times I wouldn't be upset if I didn't see another "chicken sausage & omelette" brekkie again. One was bad enough but two meals in a row??!
Perth Airport was pretty easy, it's not the biggest airport in the world thankfully. However massive queue for passport control AND customs: couldn't believe we had to declare all the baby food. Painful.
BUT got our car and headed off pretty quick!
We arrived at the house about 17:30 Perth time. 09:30 UK time. As our taxi arrived at 6:45am and we headed to Heathrow bang on 07:00, that makes it a 26.5hr door to door trip.
We'd done our online food shop at Coles the week before so we were buzzin that it turned up less than a hour after we arrived. Technology rocks!
