perth domestic airport: whinge whinge

July 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

Oh my Godfather, what kind of hell is Perth Airport? We arrived at 9.50pm and gradually waddled forward in a huddled mass as we incubated our luggage like daddy Emperor Penguins. We reached the check-in counter at 10.55pm

We then joined another queue to go through the security point. Security spotted a wee allen key in my handbag and confiscated it (probably wise because we all know a simple allen key can take the wing off a Swedish aeroplane).

Returning outside, there was ANOTHER cattle queue at the taxi rank and an electronic sign proudly calling it the gateway to Western Australia. How embarrassing

    Airports make me long for the days of travel by ship (or stagecoach for those landlocked journeys).

    Aye, I’m looking forward to getting a Clydesdale horse called Rosie
