Singapore Airport


Dear All,

Our journey is almost over even the @ is back in the right spot on the computer. We have spent much of the last couple of days in the air or at airports. Monday morning did some last minute gift shopping and posted thank you cards to our Jersey relatives. Our flight to Paris, in a little plane, took only about an hour. I even saw the wheels bounce on the tarmac. We negotiated our luggage to the shuttle bus that took us to our nearby hotel. This entailed a train link to Terminal 3. We dumped our luggage at the hotel and then took the shuttle back to explore Charles de Gaulle Airport. This was a very wise decision because the architecture of Terminal 2 in particular was stunning with obvious references to the shape of planes. The ceiling of the train station was also remarkable and was like an upside down Sydney Harbour Bridge. We had an expensive main course at the airport and then had sweets from the buffet of our hotel. I slept erratically not wishing to miss our flight. The morning shuttle bus took us to Terminal 3. However, we were now accomplished at finding our way to Terminal 1. I did a little shopping at the airport and boarded the plane without any mishaps. Have been on the plane for approximately thirteen hours and caught up on three good films in a row; 'The Changling' , 'The Race' and 'Grand Torino'. I watched another but dozed off so may watch it again on the next flight as I didn't really follow the plot. The plane was hot towards the end so am hoping for a more comfortable flight to Melbourne. I shall Blog next from 108 all being well.

love to all

See you soon
Jo and Rog
