Thailand - Day 17 - 07/12/04

Taxis to the Airport for our 13.25 flight to London Heathrow. We are scheduled to get in to Heathrow at 7pm GMT so that makes it a 12 hr flight :( Not looking forward to it. Not looking forward to the meals either, so we decide to stock up on a KFC double meal (nikki) combo before we go.

The flight itself was ok - no problems. Watched the following:

a) The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement (very poor)

b) The Bourne Supremacy (good, but seen it before)

c) Thunderbirds (poor, very poor)

d) King Arthur (decent but again, seen it before)



This passed the time quite well, but by 7pm i was struggling to stay awake, that would have been 2am in Bangkok.



Had to switch from Terminal 3 to 1 at Heathrow for the 8.35 flight back up to Edinburgh, which was delayed for 20 mins. Managed to get 20 mins of interupted sleep on that flight before landing at Edinburgh.



Home by 11.30pm, which again was 6.30am Bangkok time. Total goosed, but stayed up longer to watch the Champions League highlights before hitting the sack at 12.30, so on the go for a total of 24hrs! Let the jetlag commence!
