The journey has begun.
I’m writing this on the flight to Singapore. We caught a train to Sydney and
sadly, got the chat from another traveller for making too much noise in the
quiet carriage. Well – I suppose we are
excited.
Check-in was a bit unusual. Apparently not everyone travels with a Dunlop
tyre. All OK once they established it
was not inflated.
We had allowed an extra hour for safety to get to the airport, which allowed an extra hour in the Singapore Airlines lounge.
I
sampled the champagne, the chardy and the shiraz at the lounge. Now I’m retesting on the plane and as I’ve
always said: There is nothing quite as
good as chocolate, red wine and black coffee at 30,000 feet. Perhaps I should
try the port.
On the subject of alcohol, we are looking at forming a team with cars 103 (Rene Declercq/Eric Claeys)a 240z, and 107 (Joost Van Cauwenberghe/Jacques Castelein) a Mercedes 450SLC. We know these guys from the London to Cape Town (2012) and the Sydney to London (2014) rallies. They are Belgians, liked minded travellers, and very partial to Gin and tonic. We though we could form Team GT.
Our next report will be from Beijing.
