Brief stopover in Kuala Lumpur, 3 hours ago I woke up and my heart skipped a beat – I’d realised that I’d left my suit bag in the departure lounge at Melbourne Airport…Through the aids of modern technology by the time we had departed KL, suit bag had been found, now to get it to Deutchland!

Arrive Deutch! Straight through customs and welcomed by GSE Chair Michael Trierweiler and District Governor Horst Lettner. Next leg of the journey – 150km/h on the Autobarn, destination Erfurt.
