Had to check out @ 12pm & we only planned to leave for airport at 3pm (our flight was 6.50pm). After depositing our luggage at the hotel, we took a walk in the vicinity for the last time... enjoying the cool weather, the environment, the beautiful buildings... Then stopped at one of the more happening restaurants to lunch before heading back.
As usual, we took the métro to Charles de Gaulle Airport. Spent a lil more time in finding the right platform & also for the connecting train @ the interchange. Thank God we weren't too lost. The métro connectivity, while very developed, is well-known for being very complex & we'd braved it throughout our stay in France without problem. So you can imagine how complicated it was to go to the airport!?
We're very early at the boarding mall, like 2 hrs before ETD, as our check-in only took less than 5 mins. Without much better things to do (no DFS at all!!), we're stuck in our seats reading the only newspapers we could grab - Asian Wall Street Journal for me & Herald Tribune for hubby. Hey, don't be so surprised... I used to read AWSJ 1 ok....
Nearly dozed off while reading the papers & as if it's not bad enough, the boarding time was delayed for half an hour. Finally got on the plane but it didn't take off till exactly 2 hours later than the scheduled time! Our butts started to cramp even before the 12-hr+ flight journey began!! But the most intolerable part was the din!!
However we still gotta thank God because we didn't have a connecting flight to rush. All in all it's late for more than 2.5hours. There were quite a few passengers making arrangements for the next connecting flight as I think they'd missed the last 1. It's great that we returned in good health though we're a lil tired & disoriented.
And we only took a few pictures on the last day.
