I woke up
when Steph and Lucy were leaving to say goodbye, one of the worst things about
travelling is saying farewell to people you meet! I then got up and caught a
taxi just gone 9 to take me to the airport. Today was mostly spent in airports
and on planes… WOO!
My flight
from Langkawi was supposed to leave at 11.25am but didn’t end up leaving until
just gone midday, which for once I wasn’t bothered about as my flight to Hanoi
wasn’t until 7.10pm. That flight landed in LCCT so I then had to get on a
shuttle bus to take me to KLIA. I arrived over there just gone half 2 so I had
about an hour until check in and 4 hours until my plane. I wrote some more of
this blog and updated Facebook. Once through immigration I then had to get on a
train to my gate. Luckily the wifi in the airport was pretty good, giving me
something to do!
I’ve become
one of those people who wait to the last minute to board the plane. Well, I sit
by the gate and don’t join the queue until there are only a few people in it. I
don’t really see the point in queuing when I don’t put my bag in the locker and
I have a seat number anyway. My flight was with Vietnam Airways and I didn’t
realise until I looked yesterday that the flight included a meal! It’s only 3
hours long and cost me about £40, winner! It was some chicken and rice dish and
is probably the first plane meal on this trip where I’ve eaten all of it. We
had little turbulence and overall was successful journey.
My visa was
really simple to do and I don’t really know why I was worried about it. As soon
as I walked out there was a guy waiting for me and within 40minutes I was at my
hostel. Absolutely cream crackered I went over the road for some water and then
just crashed out. I’ve gained back an hour though! WOO!
