The long journey home has started. I'm now in the Air New Zealand lounge at Auckland airport - they code-share with Singapore Airlines - after a long drive of two hours and a short flight of 30 minutes.

It's raining and, as I'm dressed for travelling and don't have anything warm, it's cold!

Managed to get my 34 kg of baggage on the short flight without any grief and even got these checked in through to Heathrow.

I'm either going to be a walking zomby by the time I get home or feeling as fresh as a daisy... what do you think?

See you in Singapore.
