Breakfast was served on the plane about 10:00 UK time, since the hour change meant that Brazil was only two hours behind GMT.. We arrived half an hour early at Heathrow, were quickly through immigration (once the e-passport gates decided to work), luggage arrived promptly and we got to the arrivals lounge for a welcome shower by 13:30. We were hoping to spend some time relaxing there before the next stage of our journey, but discovered that it closed at !4:00 - just as well our flight landed early.
We bought our coach tickets and arrived at Gatwick at 15:30 and checked if we could get on an earlier flight. We had just missed the 16:30, but there were seats available at 18:10, so Pete queued at the customer service desk and 25 minutes later after a few technical hitches managed to get replacement tickets.
No particular photo opportunities for this leg of the journey.
It was great for Adrian to meet us at the airport and take us home to a reality check of two washing machines to fill!
817 photos and over 200 video clips were uploaded onto the main computer - there will be some serious editing to do over the dark winter months ahead.
Many thanks to all (especially the folks at Audley) for organizing such a memorable trip to Latin America. We feel we should have spent longer there, and that is always the best way to feel!
