In the Jungle

We went on the Jungle Boardwalk inside KL airport while we destroyed our 4 hour wait. First time we entered, it was pitch black, not realising that the entry didn't double up as an exit. We fair cacked ourselves not being able to see, and hearing what we didn't realise was just piped jungle noises as we galloped through. This was taken when we bravely went back into it again.

I will NEVER EVER listen to airlines who advise me to travel on my NZ passport as we're returning to NZ again. TWO unholy hours in the queue at Heathrow, where despite having 39 desks, only had 3 customs officers doing the non red passport plebs. Way to go Heathrow, no air con, no access to water, and people who aren't allowed to carry water standing in queues with at least 500 others. "The economy has cut our staffing" Makes sense to treat your TOURISTS(!!!) like refugees/concentration camp inductees. I really want to add my dosh into your economy.

I managed to finally get a customs officer to let us out of the queue and use our UK passports (first person said no as we had left NZ on the NZ passports). You'll be pleased to know Brits, that they let my children in on expired passports. My lucky sister in law and partner had been waiting for us for 2 hours. Bloody sainthoods for them!

We're staying with them for 2 nights, and they've gone all out for the girls. Toys, decorated bedroom, and just general spoiling. I may not be able to get them to leave...
