102 A surprise for the bodyguards

Sunday, continued ...

When they got outside, Rosemary hurried everyone into the cars, her driving the vehicle with Hou Yi, Anna and one bodyguard and the other four in the following car.

Rosemary drove west, out of Warrnambool to Tower Hill, and as they drove into the crater, they saw a Koala climbing up a tree, so she stopped, so everyone could have a look.The bodyguards could not believe that they could get this close to something so iconic to Australia.

Anna, realised that they all wanted to get very close to the Koala's so she had to warn them that they were wild animals, and if they got too close they could be seriously hurt. Anna snapped away taking photographs for all of the bodyguards, with them close to the Koala but not touching it.As they turned around to return to the cars, they saw some Emus and a couple of Kangaroos, which further surprised the bodyguards.They were having great fun, and for Anna, it was relaxing as she was having great fun taking photos.

Hou Yi, kept looking at his wife and realised she had relaxed, and was having fun.He could see in her eyes that she was still hurt by what her mother had said, but having this bit of fun was such that she was not as emotional challenged by it as she had been.He, like the bodyguards was having fun getting so close to iconic Australian wildlife.

As they drove through Tower Hill they stopped on 5 occasions to wander around.Once they left Tower Hill, Rosemary drove back to the airport, with the bodyguard's following behind in the second vehicle.Despite the crowd looking at the plane, as the guards Hou Yi left with the plane identified him to the police, they were able to get in.

Hou Yi looked at his watch and noticed that they had 20 minutes before the pilot would ensure that everything was ready to fly.He turned to Rosemary and said, "Assuming my pilot does not want to leave immediately, or is requested to leave immediately, would you like to come aboard and have a look."

"You are kidding?"

"Absolutely not," responded Hou Yi.

As they walked towards the foot of the plane's stairs, they were greeted by the pilot, and Hou Yi asked "Are we required to leave immediately?"

The response from the pilot was "No, they have advised we still have our twenty minutes.The police would like us gone, but as the airport authorities know our slot at Tullamarine, they are not demanding an early departure."

"This is my wife's sister-in-law.She is coming on the plane for a brief look before we leave.We are not to leave before she has departed the plane."

With that the climbed the stairs and entered the plane.Rosemary's eyes were wide open throughout the tour.At the end she said, "Just the two of you and the bodyguards flew on this?"

"Yes.Usually when I am travelling, I have a lot of work that needs to be done, and I have to get there as quickly as I can.Commercial flights usually do not allow that.Plus, on this plane, my security can be guaranteed."

Rosemary, called Ben, and made arrangements for him to collect her.She said her final goodbyes to Anna and left the plane with a promise that Anna would call her when she was back in Melbourne.The pilot and cabin crew made all the arrangements and carefully checked everything was ready for departure and took off returning to Melbourne.Within 90 minutes, they were back at the hotel, and Anna was sending text messages to confirm her return to Melbourne, as she did not feel like talking.
