Rather sad that our holiday has come to an end. We had our breakfast earlier than usual since we had a plane to catch. We left for the airport at about 8.30am, and returned our car at the airport. Then we headed to the VAT redeem counter to get refund on all items that we bought during our trip. We checked in our 12 bottles of wine and our entire luggage. We didn’t sleep as much as we would like in the plane. We arrived at KLIA at 6.30am Monday. We have had a fabulous holiday clocking more that 2000km. Weather was excellent throughout our trip, sunny and breezy and windy on certain nights. Cape Town is one of the world’s best secret (to us, at least) and we will recommend it to anyone, anytime. But all the same, it was definitely great to be home again and be able to eat nasi lemak and roti canai for breakfast. Enough of toast bread and butter/jam and cheese with eggs and bacon, at least for the next few days!!	▼click to enlarge image ▼ Breakfast Having our breakfast at Bergzicht guesthouse before leaving for the airport. Our flight is at 10:45a.m. Boarding the plane Manage to take this before boarding the plane. Enjoying the comfort Can't wait to go home. In the meantime, we have 15 hours flight and enjoying it. Starter Having starter and champagne before lunch while watching a movie. That's lunch Malaysian style fried noodles, miss that for the last 9 days.
