Not back to home, but back to Antalya.

9.3.16

Neither of us slept very well, we  never do when we’re worried about sleeping through and missing flights, even though we have 2 alarms and a wake up call booked.
Taxi to the airport took just 10 minutes as very little traffic. (45rm as before 6am. Usual flat fare 28rm)
Simple check in at tiny Kuching airport. Air Asia superb as always, landed in KL 20 minutes early.
KL is massive and very confusing, no signage to International Departures, but we knew we had to get the train to the International Terminal (2rm each )
Had brunch in Mc Donalds and downloaded some BBC iPlayer programmes for the flight.

Then another train to the gates and finally to gate C15 for our Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul.

We didn’t have too many ringets left, we thought about changing to dollars then to lira when we get home.
But we’ve decided to keep them. We both want to come back and explore more of fabulous Borneo.

Watch this space. Summer 2017 maybe?

The flight from KL took 11 and a quarter hours. We flew with Turkish Airlines, all on time, no problems but were disappointed to get the same starter and pudding for both meals.
It was showing as different in the menu and on a flight that long the food is all you have to look forward to.
They only came round twice with drinks, for a coffee addict 11 hours and 2 coffees isn’t good.

The dreaded is there a Doctor on board announcement was made. It was for a young guy across from us, he looked dreadful when he got on and they let him stretch out over 3 seats.
We can only assume he had some sort of panic attack as his breathing was all over the place. We still had over 7 hours to go and were flying over India.
Part of me fancied the adventure if there was a detour but the other part just wants to get to Antalya as Lauren is meeting us there tomorrow morning.
There was a nurse on board and after a while they regulated his breathing and he stretched out again and slept most of the rest of the journey.
He was still zonked as we were getting off and they were planning to get a Doctor to him.

Its now 8 pm. That’s 3 am in Borneo time, so 22 hours with just a short nap or 2 on the plane, a headache and just want to sleep!
Another hour and we will be boarding for Antalya.
Finally arrived at Club Hotel Sera just after 11pm
So tired, 24 hours since we left Borneo.
Just time to capture the full garishness of our room and so excited to see Lauren in just under 12 hours.
