Highlight of trip Breche de Roland
Breche de Roland with Bill and Joan
We awake at 7am after a late night watching Made in Dagenham and have an apple and left over muesli for breakfast, then out the door by 8.30am to catch the shuttle train back to Terminal 2C. After checking in and wending our way through security etc, we’re lucky to get 2 x Business Class seats in an A380 from Paris to Abu Dhabi.
The flight departs late at 12pm. Very comfy and we get to sip wine while watching Wimbledon live on screen to see Federer defeat Cilic. Definitely a highlight rather than being on the A380.
After arriving in Abu Dhabi, and expecting to have to wait several days there for a Business Class to Melbourne, then fly back to Brisbane, we’re offered 2 x Economy seats direct to Brisbane on a flight leaving in 1hr. We’re on. Not a particularly comfy trip. The Boeing 777 is completely full, but 13 hrs later we arrive in Brisbane Monday night July 17th at 6pm. Thanks Bonnie for leaving the car at the airport, and we’re home after a fantastic trip at 9pm, minus our checked in bag which we’re sure will follw us in a few days.
Highlight of the trip was definitely climbing to 2800 metres to the Breche de Roland with Bill and Joan, two Australians we had met a few days before.
