At Schiphol I met David for the first time, finally after all the months of preparation! Time went quickly with all the talking we did.
We were on time at the gate! Security check was ok! Boarding was fine, so everything seemed to go according to plan.
After 10 minutes in the plane the Captain had a message for us that we couldn't leave yet due to some technical issues, so a delay of at least 40 minutes. And indeed it was 40 minutes, good guess!. At 9.30 PM we left!
The flight was ok, it was a bit bumpy for a while but not as bad that you couldn't relax. The advantage was that they took away the food trays pretty quick after finished dinner because of the turbulence.
I watched one movie and catched some sleep.
Two hours before breakfast/lunch the lights went on again and we had a light meal.
We arrived at Kuala Lumpur 10 minutes behind schedule, so not to bad.
We had to leave the plane, welcome to strech your legs and we had the opportunity to visit the Jungle, the what, yes the Jungle! There is a small Jungle at the Malasian Airport.
Yolande & David in the Jungle
In Jakarta customs went quick, we were picked up immediately and after an hour driving through traffic jam we arrived at the hotel! Our car was checked, for explosives, our bags had to go through the scanner.
And guess what: we jumped immediately in the pool after we arrived. How relaxing at the end of long journey to be able to do so. Listening for half an hour to the crickets giving their night concerts.
Tomorrow at breakfast we will meet the rest of our team! Really looking forward! David is the team blog host for tomorrow!
A great start of our journey!
