The morning was spent in Salisbury trying out the National Health Service at a Walk-In Medical Centre recommended by the hotel. As Robin then felt well enough we then drove to Folkestone in Kent. It was warm and sunny when we left Salisbury and when we were by-passing London the temperature gauge in the car reached 23 degrees but by the time we reached Kent the temperature had dropped to 16 degrees and it was raining.
Tuesday 23 August
Next morning it was still raining so we drove to Dover to look at the cliffs through the mist and rain before going to the airport to fly home. As far as we can tell the cliffs are impressive and would make quite an impression when approached from the sea on a clear day. It was too wet to stop the car and have a proper look so we can only use our imagination.
The flight home via Zurich and Hong Kong was uneventful and we arrived in Melbourne at 6 am on Thursday 24 August. Hong Kong airport must have one of the most spectacular views of any major world airport.
