Leaving Portugal /Arriving home/3/5/2010

Waiting for a pick up from Nuno to take us to the airport,We are sure our bags
are full of the Sahara desert as they have grown in size, maybe it is the new wardrobe :-) We have both grown in size
as the food and drink has been just great.. now back to the diet ;_( More when we arrive in Switzerland -- if we ever do

Have arrived in Hong Kong after waiting in Switzerland for 7 hours for a connecting flight then a 12 hour flight by Swiss air to Hong Kong (you get what you pay for) now we only have a 8hour flight to Sydney then a 2 hour trip home will arrive in our bed about 12 noon Tuesday. We had to run to catch this flight and get transferred to gate thirty six just made it in time as  the Swiss plane had not turned their clock back, we are both in a lather of sweat.. but we are going home.. Hong Kong Airport is huge..and running with ones bags is not fun

Oh I forgot to mention the Pope was in Lisbon on Saturday huge crowds and lots of noise a great spectacle.

We are home again after 2 great adventures , arrived back in Sydney at 6am had to wait for the shuttle home which arrived at 8am  2 hours to drive home as there was an accident, did two loads of washing then hit the bed... Wow now it is Wednesday must have slept all Tuesday
It was a great holiday despite all the little hiccups, accidents, night riding, loosing baggage,loosing people,but the best part was meeting new Tour leaders and great new friends, it was a pleasure to ride with
-Our next adventure will be off to the good old USA in July -
