Day 16 - We're coming home

Just the right amount of time.

Parents, friends and well-wishers.
This post / entry will be updated at both Colombo airport when we are through customs, and then again at Singapore airport, enroute to Kingsford Smith airport (aka. Home sweet home).

Thank you and we will see you soon.

Back home with reliable wifi.

Morning all (just...)
The Day 16 updates didn't go to plan.
Even in Sydney airport, where I tried putting a post that we had arrived in one piece (well, besides Seb falling victim to a dicey Chicken footlong at Subway and Chayton not listening at Customs).
"How much was the airport coffee???"


All 18 boys looked tired but thankful to be at home. The 19th, Jack (who has our deepest sympathies) had to endure another flight and stop over. This time in the Maldives. Jack, I toasted your misfortune when I walked through the door. Funnily enough with Vegemite and avocado toast.

Leaving Colombo

Sri Lankan coastline

Entering Singapore waters
Plenty of leg room for the important things or people.

Thank you tourists for a memorable trip. I will add some further photos tonight after some quality family time - which I highly recommend for the rest of you.
A happy group, just 16 days ago.

See or speak to you all soon.

  1. The blog is now up to date (hopefully) for those that want to look back or print off any pictures. Thank you to those who expressed their appreciation to the three coaches for their efforts on the blog (oh, and looking after your sons while in SL). It was an absolute pleasure!
    Lastly, Sean and Joanne - don't forget to collect the money Ryan made from letting the other boys "piggy back" his data download while at the airports on Saturday.

  2. To all the coaches - thank you so much for so adeptly guiding my son through ye another "trip of a lifetime". Daniel had a wonderful time and I a (frustratingly slowly) learning some of the fun times you all had. I personally really appreciated the blog - perfect combination of fact, humour and photo's and we parents left at home had many a chat and chuckle about its contents. I hope you all have a well-deserved rest. Signing off as I eat my avocado, vegemite and toast! A big thank you and best wishes for a great 2018. Susan

      It was an absolute pleasure to look after Dan and the other 18 boys over those 16 days. Thank you for the thank you and I'm sure we'll speak further about the tour around the grounds over the next 5 CAS rounds.
