Second bite at the cherry

Back in Brisbane now! That was a full day as well.

A few more photos added to the Flickr set, now completed:

First job of the day was to head back to Brighton Jetty and take some photos in daylight, with the sun shining and the clear sky. The colours of the arch and the sail are much nicer as the focus of a photo during the day. They turned out well too:

Brighton second time around

I then headed off to run a couple of errands, including printing my boarding pass for tonight from Officeworks. Yes, despite the fact that Tigerair finally introduced web check-in, they failed to introduce mobile check-in. Give it a few years perhaps.

After about 90 minutes of mad packing, I headed off to get a train and bus to the airport. I also got on one of Adelaide's famous trams. The city section of it was a bit tedious as it navigated the traffic lights.

After walking up to Tigerair's single, solitary bag drop queue that was longer than both Virgin and Qantas (which had MASSIVE spaces), they said "would you like an exit row today sir?". They offered me one on the way down as well! To be offered an exit row on both sectors of a return trip is highly unusual.

An hour and a half later and boarding time rolled around. Not only did I have an exit row both sectors, but the seat next to me was empty on both sectors. Well, until the seatbelt sign came off and some guy claimed that he wanted the spare seat so he could sleep. I seriously had half a mind to say "ah, no, if you needed the space you should have paid for it?", but decided against it. It was after 9:00 and I was just too tired to argue.

We arrived in Brisbane a whole 20 minutes early, thanks to the ridiculous airline policy that says "we were on time because the flight was 2 hours instead of the 2 1/2 hours we said it would be". So after a fairly eventful flight, I headed back home, where normal service will resume again. Except it's a public holiday tomorrow for Labour Day. I really don't think I would be in any shape to go to work anyway, landing at 10pm.

Well, that will be the end of travel blogs for a while. Unless the chance arises to go on another short trip, which I very much doubt it will until at least the end of the year. It's been fun, no doubt, and I will miss travelling. See you on my next adventure!
