Arrival at Norwich - JR

A great welcome at Norwich Airport with Aussie flag and sign - The POMS welcome D9700 GSE Team.



Just to prove that they did get a meal at the KL Airport Restaurant - BurgerKing

We continued to Dubai on Emirates Airlines and had to negotiate another slow queue to gain our seats on the KLM flight to Amsterdam. After getting peanuts from Air Malaysia Whitey was not going to let them get away with it. He was able to charm the girl at KLM Business Lounge into allowing the five jaded travellers to an hour in salubrious comfort until boarding for Amsterdam.

Guess what we arrived to find no luggage for anyone. KLM did find the girls bags but hey guys you will be OK in what you stand up in.

Amsterdam was in party mode with May Day holiday and long weekend. The hotel was well located but again Team Leader John did choose one with small rooms and where you can sit on the loo and have a shower at the same time. Clean and convenient with 1/2 size beds - what more can you ask if you are only paying peanuts!!!

Time to buy some jocks and socks for the boys and a shopping spree for the girls. Did a spot of sight seeing as well. Found out that they serve more than coffee in the coffee shops and saw the night life. - Also did some final preparation on our presentations.

Team leader John's bag arrives - is he not putting his team his team first? Oh and the digeridoo arrives.

Off to Norwich without both Shane Atkinson and Shane White's bags - but wait at Amsterdam airport we find that Julia is not on the flight!!! Got a seat allocation about 15 minutes before boarding. Finally on our way.
