24th October 2010

The holidays had finally come to an end. Yup, the last day had approached. Departed from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 14.59hours and reached LCC Teminal at 17.50hours by using Air Asia.

24th October 2010 meant the last day in Jakarta, Indonesia. Took a cab to the airport after noon.
Reached the Soekarno Hatta-International Airport.

Hubby ate the above food for his lunch at the airport in Solaria restaurant.

Yeah....after the long queue for checking-in but still a long way to walk.
Another shot here for PS, Far to go as the sign reads E1 till E7 to walk straight.

Am I there yet to board the plane?
Very soon. The signboard for Gate D was right ahead only. A few steps more to go.
Sure a long walk to board a plane. Wondered how the elderly cope with it?
Had chicken satay on board of Air Asia.

The usual schedule of the previous day. Taking a rest in the hotel room until almost dinner time. We walked from the Smart hotel all the way to the Grand Indonesia Shopping Town. Our second night, having dinner at the same venue but not complaining.

Our last evening in Jakarta.
It's almost dark and many cars were making their way to it's destinations.
Straight on and we will dine at one of the shop.
Decided to havean Indonesian food before we leave for Malaysia.
Wow, not for those which can't eat spicy food which is me. I'm having hard time in eating the food. Somehow I made it through.
Walked to the Grand Indonesia and walked back to the Smart hotel again. PS and I were so exhausted that we couldn't wait to jump into our bed.
