Great report as always T8191 thanks very much - makes me wish I was back there myself in this miserable Sat afternoon.

Very good point on the pricing, most ANU or BGI breaks for this autumn onwards are over £10k!

Empty hall for temp check, then health paperwork, then immigration before bag collection and customs. This took less than 30mins. Getting rental car was no problem once I found where to go as there were no signs. Took 20mins for manual paperwork (and don’t forget the 20usd cash for the temporary driving license). Car had seen better days, but not as bad as the roads since they are truly awful. The max speed of 40mph is an aspiration at best😂
Deeply jealous about the Arrival! Agree totally about the roads … you are brave! 😎

Cheers … miserable here too, if that’s any comfort! And the pricing is still very depressing!! 😟

Great report Uncle T, we’re due to fly to ANU on the 31st from LGW, keep your fingers crossed for us having negative PCR tests 😀

Thanks, LadyB. ANU is clearly the destination of choice for discerning FT-ers! And I’m sure a Lady such as yourself will be pure when tested! 😀

we are leaving on the 30th and land back into Gatwick on the 31st. I’ll make sure the island is restocked with Rum

Thanks Uncle T - enjoyable and informative as always. Can't see myself flying BA CW for the food anytime soon! Eat Before You Fly would be my motto for the airline at the moment.

Nice one, Uncle T. Great report and glad you both managed to get away. Our first international trip is BNA via ORD next week. Will have to have a dig around for my passport!

Cheers! Oh, yes, passports and all the other things that used to be almost automatic (corkscrew, for example!). Happy travels to you!

We're hoping for PHX in the New Year, but still looking for somewhere in the next 4-5 months.

Cheers, Calchas! Yes, all good here, although that ankle-twist took several days to straighten out. Glad it didn't happen while mountaineering at COCOS!
