Travel Day

After my relatively early night I woke feeling refreshed and ready to sit in a plane for 13hours! I had breakfast (fresh fruit and danish pastries) and then went out for a bit of a walk to 'stretch my legs'.

I got back to the hotel, showered for the second time and was on my way to the airport by 10.15am. Once at Changi I went straight to the crappy SATS 'Premium Lounge' and relaxed a bit before making my way to the gate for the flight home.

The flight was reasonably full in Economy, but I had snagged an exit row seat so I was comfortable enough. I was sat next to an Australian who went through quite a bit of nicotine gum (and red wine) during the flight. He was coming back to the U.K. to visit his mother and wasn't looking forward to it, I on the other hand wasn't looking forward to coming home as it meant my trip was over.

We landed 30mins ahead of schedule and a combination of IRIS and priority tagged luggage meant that I was out of the airport by 7pm. All that I needed to do was battle my way through the throng of Indians in the arrival hall and find where Cliff had left my car.
