So, we're home. Though much of the day I've felt like a (barely) walking zombie after a 2nd night flight (and hence next to no sleep) I'm very happy to be home and relaxing in a familiar environment.
The 4-hour wait in Sydney for our Canberra connecting flight was tough - (overpriced airport) chocolate was our saviour in terms of remaining awake. Maria was overjoyed on seeing the kids in Canberra (I think she scared some of the bystanders at the terminal with her voiciferous tears).
The afternoon has been spent with mum and the kids, trying to create for them a picture of India with all its contradictions, while we slowly unpacked, gave presents, showed some pictures etc. I crashed between 5 and 6, but its now after 10pm and mum is filling us in on how the kids have been while we were away. Hopefully we'll resynch with oz time.
"Its good to be home", Maria just said as we said goodnight to mum - and truer words have rarely been spoken.
