The journey back consisted of three planes from Vladivostok to Manchester via Amsterdam.
The first plane I caught was an Aeroflot plane from Vladivostok to Moscow. I was really impressed with it and had plenty of leg room for a 9 hour flight. I managed to watch 4 films, including the Lego film that I've been wanting to see for ages. I think that I was the only foreigner on the plane. The food was very good too and I got two large meals. I also listened to the Verve's 'Urban Hymns' album. It was starnge to think that I was the only person on the plane that had also gone to the same sixth form college as the Verve had!
I then caught a plane from Moscow to Amsterdam. I had a good chat on the plane with both a Dutch consultant working for Phillips who was advising the Russian's on improving their health service, and a German teenager who was at a German school in Russia. I couldn't eat all my food as I was still fairly full from the last flight!
I then finally caught the plane from Amsterdam to Manchester. I was feeling really tired as I had been up for nearly 24 hours! Once I went through passport control I waited to pick up my bag. Unfortunately it did not arrive and I had to fill in a form to state that it had not arrived.
I couldn't believe it when I finally got home!
