We'll be Back, Sydney!

We are going home today. The girls are a little sad and said that they want to come back to Sydney. Yes, we will be back definitely. :)

We woke up around 9am but continued to laze a bit in bed lol. Around 10.30am, we went for a final browse at the World Square Shopping Centre. I bought a BD disc for my friend from JB Hi-Fi and I discovered there were a few fashion shops at WSSC! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try out the clothes. I also bought some buns as snacks in case the girls were hungry before we went to the airport. We returned to the hotel. I packed in the bd disc, checked the luggage for the last time and locked them. We lazed around and watched tv for almost 45 minutes before we left for the airport.

We lazing in bed lol

Our room, 1632

At 12.30pm, we took the taxi to the airport. The journey was smooth and we arrived at the international airport under 30 minutes. We had our boarding passes within 20 minutes. We browsed in the airport shops and bought a few more packets of nougat and macadamia nuts, for self-consumption and as extra gifts. The girls also bought storybooks for reading on the plane. At 2.20pm, we cleared customs and immigration. We looked around at the duty free shop but there was nothing that interested us. We sat down to have Mckkies ice cream before we went to the gate for boarding at 3.25pm. We totally enjoyed the ice cream. Somehow, it was creamier and nicer than that in Singapore lol.

Our plane was the Airbus A380 lol. The plane seemed better than the usual lol. We could watch the plane as it taxied on the runway and when it was in the air due to the camera on its rear tail. For entertainment, there were so many videos/ movies to choose from to watch as well as many music albums to listen to. The plane took off on time at 4.10pm. Soon we were served with dinner. As the sun was setting, I exchanged seat with Juliane who was seated at the window so that I could capture the sunset. :) We were served with refreshment about 2 hours before we landed in Singapore.
