Day 37 begins with a taxi ride to the Munich airport. The ride is nearly an hour. On a noon flight, Lufthansa delivers us to Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris in under two hours.
We must wait four hours for the Singapore Airlines desks to open. We pass the time in a sushi cafe.
Two marvelous wheelchair pushers, get us through luggage check-in, immigration and security and to the Star Alliance lounge, Singapore Airlines does not have a dedicated lounge in Paris. Given the late departure of our flight, it might as well be a private lounge. Most other Star Alliance flights have departed.
We depart just before 11pm for a 13-hour flight to Singapore. It is day 38.
If you must spend long hours in a lounge, the Singapore Airlines lounge at Changi is one of the best. The food is excellent. A bar makes good mixed drinks, and wine is plentiful although a bit pedestrian.
The flight from Singapore to Adelaide is delayed 20 minutes. Later we're informed the flight is delayed even more due to late arriving connections. It's been a marvelous holiday but it's time to call stumps on it.
We depart Singapore after midnight. It is now day 39. We arrive in Adelaide around 8am. How long will it take to recover???? We begin by sleeping through most of the day.
See you in August in ALASKA !!!
