Heathrow and home
In the evening we drove to a pub we had spotted on our way to town, where we enjoyed a counter meal.
Next morning we returned to the motorway and drove south towards London, pausing for morning tea at Woodstock, near Blenheim Castle, and driving in to Oxford and round the town. The traffic was so heavy and slow-moving we did not loiter, but looked at the great buildings as we went past and carried on south.
At one stage we had had plans to visit Kew Gardens in the afternoon, but the distance from the airport, and the cost, persuaded us there was not enough time to make it worthwhile, so we dropped our rental car near Heathrow, and they drove us to Terminal 3.
Our plane took off in the evening and arrived at the massive Dubai Airport early the next morning.
Here is a scene from the concourse:
And another to show you the size and style of the building.
After four hours' rest, we boarded the bus for another
15-minute trip to our plane, and the final legs to Bangkok, and Auckland.
We were very happy with the efficiency and service of the Emirates airline.
Some day we will share our general conclusions about the whole experience of our visit to the UK and Europe.
