Day 47 18-10-2014 Fri HK, Home

Our stopover in Hong Kong was brief, so we were pleased to be on the homeward leg, on which we mostly watched movies and TV serials. The A330’s seats were marginally better and we arrived in Sydney to a cooler-than-expected evening (given the high temperatures in preceding days). Train and taxi home to be pleased to see that our house was still standing. Something like 200 homes had been lost in the bushfires around Sydney. The layer of dust and dirt on the garaged cars was astounding – more than last year I think.
