18^th/19^th/20^th  (Friday-Sunday) November Hotel & Flights

We took the train and underground to Heathrow and stayed overnight at the Radisson Hotel. This was comfortable, a good price and only 15 minutes from Terminal 2.

The Singapore Airline flight to Darwin, our first port of call for the Australian visits, went to Darwin via Singapore and Melbourne. This wasn’t our original intention but our direct flight from Singapore to Darwin was cancelled leaving us with no option other than a two day delay or the long flight via Melbourne and 8 hours of extra flying. 

On the flight I watched a couple of good films: Eye in the Sky, The Man who knew Infinity (real life story of the famous and very unconventional Indian mathematician called Srinivasa Ramanujan) and a TV series: “The Durrells in Corfu”.  All are worth watching, and the latter will need to be revisited on the way back since I have 1½ episodes to finish the 6 part series.

We eventually arrived at the Ramada Suite Zen Quarter apartments in Darwin late on the Sunday evening at around 23.30.
