Arrived, Knackered

Well, I'm sitting in Melbourne Airpronto after an extremely exhausting trip. Unbelievably I managed to catch 2 trains, 3 undergrounds and 3 planes without a single hitch. I didn't get taxed, inspected, insulted, threatened or jammed in a massive queue even once, after the last few flights with low cost airlines I was frankly gobsmacked!

Emirates airline staff were more than happy to give me extra food whenever I asked for it and enough wine to actually make me a bit drunk on the first flight. Get this; when I walked up to the desk to deposit my bags, the woman greeted me with "Hello sir, ok, I've got you an emergency exit row seat...." before I had opened my mouth and on the second flight the attendant moved some people around once on the plane and got me an exit seat there too. I honestly don't think I can find anything to complain about (boring, I know). It is a weird experience being given instructions in the airport by girls who look like they should still be at school though, I wouldn't have a hope of guessing ages in southeast Asia.

It is 4.50am and the next challenge is navigating to my cousins house from the airport and not arriving too early ;)
