Leaving Paris traveling to Singapore 23rd May
An early morning start today as we were being picked up by a prearranged shuttle to the airport at 8 AM. The trip to Charles de Gaulle airport was uneventful although the driver was one of the rudest people we have met on our travels and deliberately dropped us off at the wrong gate .
But we found the correct gate eventually and proceeded to the departure gate. Here we encountered the French immigration officials that seemed intent on slowing the whole place to a snails pace and succeeding very well .
We got away on time and the flight some 12 hours 40 mins long was no problem. We managed to snatch some sleep, take in some movies and we arrived at Singapore on time.
We had a 4 hour wait for the connection to Penang with Air Asia. The flight was 20 min late leaving but got to Penang only 10 min late . The prearranged transfer driver was there holding a sign with our name on it and 1 hour later we were at our hotel .
Pierre and Lynette went for a refreshing swim straightaway while Crackers crashed in the room. The Hen was busy familiarizing herself with the surroundings.
We went for dinner later that night at a local restaurant just a short walk from the hotel here we enjoyed the local food followed by some delicious deserts.
A long day over!!!
