Our last day in Australia, except we were not expecting it to be our last day. A ticketing irregularity caught us on the hop. Only a chance phone call gave us the heads up of our error of thought.

Wednesday as it turned out was a day for surprises as earlier we had met an old friend from London. But in truth we had also sat there a whole 24 hours earlier because we got the day wrong. I have no idea why Wednesday had become such a time vortex.

All was well in the end and by the time Thursday dawned we were well on the way to Hong Kong. And so another adventure unfolds.

Missing our friend or missing our flights would have had sad consequences. As it happened neither occurred but it was pretty close.
