Narrative:
Captain and copilot very fatigued after a long night of flying. Handed over to tower, but forgot to check on to the new frequency. Landed and then called ground control. Ground controller did not seem upset. We assume tower still issued a clearance to land, even though we were not on frequency to hear it.
