Our Australian adventure comes to an end
today, it’s time to go to the airport and check in to our flight to Kuala
Lumpur. As we approach the check-in line it becomes clear that a good number of
Malay people look like they’re moving back to Kuala Lumpur. We’ve never seen so
many overstuffed, overweight cases and boxes all destined for the hold of our
flight. Every case seems to need to be repacked then reweighed several times
before being accepted. Needless to say, this creates pandemonium and an
ever-lengthening line to check-in for the flight. I’m getting stressed that
we’ll miss the flight, Dave’s just annoyed, “why can’t they just obey the
rules!” Eventually, we’re checked in and yes our bags were well under the
weight limit! We make a bee line for the airport lounge which, is a haven of
peace and quiet.
Arriving at Kuala Lumpur or rather the
transit through the airport is just as stressful, trying to follow the signs to
baggage reclaim, walking miles, being transported by train to another city, or
so it seems. Then there’s the interminably long line for immigration all before
we reach the carousel for baggage reclaim. We stand there for ages until we
realise someone has removed our bags into a pile on the floor between the
carousels! Now the bags have to be x-rayed to go into the country, Dave is
beginning to be quite vocal and politically incorrect shall I say!!!
Time to purchase a voucher for a taxi
ride, easily done, but we’re both more than a bit edgy when we’re escorted to a
quiet area of the terminal before being loaded into the taxi. However, all is
well, the taxi ride is smooth and 45 minutes later we’re checking into Avani
Sepang Goldcoast resort.
