We both had showers at KL airport, in order to try and feel slightly human again.

This was the plane that we flew on from KL to Sydney. It was absolutely packed. KL must have been the change point for people flying from India, as the plane was full of Indians. There were too many families with babies for the number of cots, and many families split between rows, so there was a lot of manoeuvring. The cabin crew didn't seem to care that people were slightly upset. We were seated in two seats at the edge of a 5-seats-across-the-middle section. We had a young mum and with her young toddler on her lap, slap-bang in the middle of the five seats, so we swapped with her so she could at least be on the edge and free to get up if her daughter got too squirmy. She had actually booked a cot but had been told "Sorry, there's none left." But the little girl did very well (our son wouldn't have!), though I am sure that the mother was willing the flight to end from the very start!
It was quite late when we got in, and Tim's father picked us up and we stayed the night at Tim's parent's, ready to see our son in the morning when he woke up. It was interesting to see his reaction to us - a good deal of caution, but he warmed up pretty quickly. It was great to see him and nice to be home.
We loved our trip to Germany, and hope to go again (Tim definitely will need to for his PhD research). And I think Ursula would be very upset if we didn't bring the kids next time!
