Brisbane, Australia
As we were flying out at 9pm Monday we spent our last day visiting the nearby town of Shrewsbury.
It was a beautiful day and warmer than it had been since London 4 weeks before. We visited the museum, wandered the streets and the gardens.
Jane dropped us at the airport in plenty of time which was just as well as there were more problems with our tickets. 2 bookings each this time which is better than none but still caused dramas. After half an hour they had sorted it out and our bags were booked through to Brisbane.
Flying east we had 2 nights on the plane and we got little sleep. We landed in Brisbane at 0730 to a grey day.
It was a great trip and and my knowledge of the history of the Romans in Britain and the British monarchy is greatly expanded. It was especially nice to have time with Jane – a great friend and wonderful host.
