Flight to the other side
Yesterday morning at around 7 o'clock I started my journey to Schiphol, where I had to say goodbye to my parents and little sisters. Tough, but also a new start on the other side! At Schiphol I boarded a plane to Singapore, an almost 13 hour flight. The food was delicious (there was even chocolate ice cream), but because it was served at really weird times (dinner at 3 in the afternoon and breakfast at 4:30 in the morning, sleep was not on my list unfortunately. Luckily there were really good movies, like Moana and Belle and the Beast, and the latest season of Broadchurch, so I had enough to fill my time with. So really 3 movies, 8 episodes and 2 minutes of sleep summed up my first flight of this trip...
Due to a delay, I only had one hour to make my transit at Singapore Airport, but luckily this airport has a very convenient metro that takes you anywhere you want. Unfortunately though, I couldn't see much of this supposedly great airport. At Singapore I boarded my 4-hour flight to Perth, and luckily for me the plane was so empty that I had a whole row of seats to myself!! I even slept for 2-3 hours, which is a miracle for me as I have never slept on an airplane before :)
I arrived in Perth at around 13:00 local time, so that means it was around 7 o'clock in Holland, making my travel here over 24 hours. Though I was a little scared of customs, mainly due to border security, it wasn't close to what we see on TV and everything went smoothly! Even finding the hostel wasn't too hard and luckily the bus stop was pretty close so I did not have to carry my 12 kilo backpack too long. The hostel people are really friendly and I hope I am really going to have a great week here! Tomorrow I'll write about my first experiences in Perth, but for now, I'm off to bed to shake off the jetlag!
