    Paris to home via Singapore

    June 24, 2016 in Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Left the Airbnb at 8 am after another noisy night ( soccer fans). Although this room is set in a closed off street with electronically operated iron gates at either end, the sound of traffic comes through and up to the 2 nd floor and revelry doesn't end before 3 am - 4 am.When it quietens down the street cleaners start up !! Soa stuffy cramped metro ride to Gare du Nord and then the RER to CDG airport was worse, sweaty. Just after 9 in the airport with a shuttle train also.Wehad to check the bags which was quick but then queued for just over 30 min at customs, just to get our passport stamped! On to security check which was also quick. At last waiting for the boarding time. Air traffic controllers strike we were told at 11:40, when boarding was supposed to have commenced from 11. The plane left about 12 min late but we caught up and arrived at Changi airport before 7, on time .Its pouring with rain outside. Across the skies we saw beautiful snow covered mountain ranges for quite some time. Lots of food on the flight with snacks, lunch, breakfast and drinks. I watched 4 movies and tried to sleep. Awaiting next flight, the last leg of our journey of almost 8 weeks.9:35 am Singapore time should be take off.Read more
