Cut in slices, covered in batterContinue reading “Arrived s&s in KL”

We will be turning left 😏 Making the most of our trip. Totally enjoying First Class experience – just a shame that ‘Timeshifter’ has us to go to sleep right after take off. Conundrum ‘enjoy First class’ or ‘trying to beat the jetlag’ …. 🤔
