Well here we are in Taipei! The journey here was a long one, but surprisingly smooth. The kids are both heroic 
travellers and took all the unusual conditions very naturally. The train journey from Budapest to Vienna was easy except our start was a little rushed. We started off late as I forgot a few things (these were only the forgotten things I remembered while still able to get them. There were quite a few other things that I only realised at 30,000 feet!) at the station Dorka's family were there to see us off. They made it to the train about half an hour earlier than we did!
The journey was smooth and it wasn't long before our friends Björn and Sally were greeting us in Vienna. The breakfast the next morning was phenomenal and it's a wonder I didn't have to pay extra overweight costs for my tummy!
The flight itself was longer than I remembered - 11 hours to bangkok, then on to Taipei, for another 4 hours. Things were complicated by the fact that the plane had to be emptied and a security check
performed before we could get back in the same seats. This meant waking up Lara and Emma at Midnight and trudging through another security control at 12:30 before starting all over again. And of course, as it was 5am Thai time, they served breakfast right away. The bassinet was a real help as we could pop Lara in there and have our hands free. Emma curled up on a seat between us and hardly moved. She did roll over once and stick her arm right though my breakfast, but it was actually quite funny as we tried to wipe butter off arms, clothes, hair, seat etc.
Finally we got to Taipei, found our driver - thank god for airport pickups- and then all fell asleep on the 30 minutes trip to our hotel.
Tired but triumphant that the longest single journey of our trip was pretty easy, we settled in to rest for a few days...
