Thursday 26th June
Sorry , no photos this time.
We are now in Kuala Lumpur and resting up for the final stage of the journey tomorrow.
All went well dropping the car back in Paris on Tuesday. We spent Monday travelling from Fontainebleau to Paris via the Elephant Blu car wash where we spent a good hour cleaning and vacuuming the car (and touching up a little scratch or two). After finishing the car we headed to our final hotel for the last night in Paris and dropped off the luggage. I was dreading the run to the hotel as we had to pass from the south of Paris to the north, but the roads were all highways and not too congested. Then by a stroke of good luck we found that the car drop off point was on the approach road to the airport from where we were staying so that part was easy too. We had our final french meal at the hotel restaurant and the meal was very nice.
Our flight to Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday left Paris at noon and we landed in KL 6am Wednesday, where we were able to check in to our hotel (paying an early check-in fee) and get some much needed sleep. After 3 1/2 months using booking.com for all our accommodation, this is the first hotel where we have had problems - no breakfast organised, eftpos machine not working, aircon not working, mix-up with checkout date, room safe locked. But I guess on the plus side, this is a new hotel so the bed is new and all the bedding is new - lovely fluffy pillows and 2 each.
We spent the rest of yesterday and today just cruising the shops (haven't bought anything) and enjoying the malaysian food - vegies, yum! We leave here tomorrow morning at 6am for our 10.30am flight home. We are looking forward to catching up with family and friends on our return - but I am not looking forward to having to do the cooking and cleaning again. Anyone want to invite us for dinner? :)
