How long has it been?

Day 1 - Melbourne to Bangkok 

Yes, it's been a whole 66 days since we returned from our last trip. Must be a record, right? Maybe - but only if you don't count M's short trip to South East Asia that he returned from just 13 days ago!

Enough of that, time to get this blog going again.

We took off for the first of three flights to England, first leg Melbourne to Bangkok. A civilised departure at 1.30pm had us arriving around 8pm local time, for a stopover at our usual airport hotel.

Day 2 - Bangkok to Helsinki 

With what's been happening in the world we weren't keen on getting to Europe via the Middle East, so from Bangkok we opted to fly to Helsinki, taking advantage of some reasonably priced business class fares, which made the 13 hour flight slightly more tolerable.

We were looking forward to visiting Helsinki again after our visit four years ago, but by the time we made through the incredibly slow and inefficient border formalities we ended up having an early night at the very convenient Clarion Hotel at the airport.
