Day 40 / 41 - London to Beijing to Shanghai to Melbourne

---

After sitting on a plane for 9hours and 40minutes we were very happy to finally make it to Beijing, China. Thinking we were now halfway there we boarded another flight almost immediately from the international terminal to head to Melbourne... or so we thought. Turns out that no, we still had to go to Shanghai to then get the rest of the flight home. We were devistated. Another hour and a bit of flying then we were in Shanghai then boarded another flight bound for Melbourne. Flying home is so painful, just the anticipation of getting there is worse then at the start of your trip I think.
We flew another 12 or so hours and landed in chilly Melbourne where we collected our bags and made our way through duty free and customs then walked to the McDonalds to meet up with Dad. Ah, finally home.
What an absolutely fantastic trip though. So many cities and countries and landmarks and brilliant people in such a short time. It really was another trip of a life time.
