From Shanghai to Brisbane

19.9.19 - Time to say goodbye
We go on a last walk in the area:










Goodbye China!

At Pudong International Airport Shanghai:
we have never been so fast from the entrance to the airport to the gates!






The only delayed flight departure is .... of course Qantas!



After 10,5 hours flight we arrive at Sydney ....



No space for our plane at a "finger"


and also the 4th Qantas flight is delayed!
but we don't have to wait 9 hours like on the way to China!




So, we are back home!
