The best laid plans of all travellers occasionally go awry. When I booked my return flights from Adelaide to Hobart I expected to have about a two hour layover in Melbourne as there are no direct flights to Hobart. However, the airline had other ideas, cancelling my flight and forcing me to catch one later in the afternoon.

So what do you do during a five hour airport layover? Eat, drink coffee, read, catch up with emails and, if you are a blogger, take photographs. Here is my day at Tullamarine airport.
