... difference himself!<br><br>We didn't manage to sleep much on the trip home but arrived safely and on time. After a very quick trip through immigration and quarantine, we were outside the airport in freezing cold weather just half an hour later. <br><br>Tim came to pick us up - and found he couldn't leave because he had a flat battery!
