Thursday / Friday flying home continued

Read for a while, then at 10:10 left the hostel and walked to the taxi rank near the Notre-Dame Basilica ad got a taxi to the airport. The 20minutes journey has a flat rate of 28$ and I arrived at 10:40. Found the KLM Self Service kiosks and printed my boarding cards, boarding doesn't start until 17:25 so I expect a few hours before i can check my baggage. (None of the KLM counters are currently manned!)

Sat reading an ebook for a while (found a power point) until 14:30 when I used up my last 10$ bill for a BK whopper meal. Then checked my bag (without queuing) and then went through security, for which queuing was required.
Looked for cigarettes for D without any luck, then to gate B57 where I found a power socket to use until we had to board the plane. Read until 18:00 when we boarded flight KL0672, took off about half an hour later. Served dinner soon after take off, I had a chicken and rice concoction. Saw "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" on the multimedia center, managed just over and hour of sleep, then breakfast was served. Landed at Amsterdam 00:42/6:42.

Bought duty free (EU duty paid) whiskey and cigs. Plugged laptop into mains at Internet cafe and read ebook for awhile. Then to gate to wait to board flight VG0221 to London. Took off at 11:10 and landed 11:50 / 10:50 at City Airport. Got through Passport control and collected my bag then out to the DLR station by 11:25 and then to London Bridge, where I was able to get the 12:00 south arriving home just after 13:00. I tumbled into bed and slept to 19:45!
