Fine
and sunny 24 to 31 deg C
As
the room is underground and has no windows it was difficult to wake up this
morning. We managed to drag ourselves out of bed and get to breakfast about
0640h. Just had fruit and yogurt as I’ll be going straight to the business
lounge where I can enjoy a proper breakfast.
It
was nice and very convenient to be able to just catch the lift straight into
the departure lounge from the airport hotel. Never done that before. We waited
in the foyer reading the newspaper for about 30 minutes as we knew that check
in would not open till about 0900h. Check in went like a breeze, normally does
for business class, a few layers of security and an immigration stamp later and
we were sitting in the Adani Lounge (SA doesn’t have a lounge in Mumbai so they
use Adani) sipping a coffee. The lounge provided the whole nine yards of
breakfast delights, both western and Indian. As we are not scheduled for
departure until 1155h, we knew it would be a late lunch.
Left pretty much on
time, which is usually the norm for SA and had a very pleasant four-hour
flight. Watched a whole series of Amazing Renovations and ate too much yummy
food but tried not to sleep so I could get myself in sync with the time at
home. The SA lounge in Singapore is delightfully huge and after a shower and
change I had a nice cup of tea. Got about four hours to kill before the flight
at 0055h, an unusual time for a flight out of Singapore.
