The Road Goes Ever On...

Just when we were getting used to having family around again (and enjoying it a lot!), it was time to say goodbye. Hopefully, we will have a chance to visit them in Portland... that would be great! Meanwhile, we will just cherish the wonderful time spent together.

When we were in Berkeley and Socorro, Agnes knitted a hat for each of the kids... patterns from her favourite blog.  

The last thing Agnes knitted in the US was a pear pouch, for Barney and Holly. It is also a pattern from the same blog, only that it was converted from a toy/ home decor to a draw-string pouch.

Then, it was time to head back to Australia on our first flight on the new Airbus A380. It was such a fantastic experience; it was so quiet and the take-off and landing was hardly noticable because it was so stable! It's no surprise that we actually managed to sleep quite a bit during the 15-hour (from 23 June in LA to 25 June in Sydney/ Perth) flight.

The skycam even allowed us to witness the entire flight from a different perspective, right on our screens...

from the landing...

to the arrival at the terminal in Sydney.

It was swiftly followed by another 5 hour flight to Perth...
