This is it.

This is the end of the road.

Goodbye beautiful places.

Only memories will remains in our hearts.

At 9 a.m, we took the hotel’s shuttle to the nearest TGV line. We board the train straight to Charles De Gaulle Airport – the same way we arrived here 2 weeks ago. We all wished that we can rewind the time when we get here and experience it all over again.

Arriving at the airport, the first thing Su and I did was to the VAT Pablo refund kiosk located at the departure terminal. The kiosk refuses to stamp out one of our receipt. We had to go meet the customs officer to get a manual stamp. The VAT kiosk is very easy to use. You just have to scan the barcode, it will say approved and you are free to collect the VAT. After we settled our VAT receipts, we went straight away to the money changer listed as VAT refund counter.

We choose a money changer that offers to refund in Euros – remember that while purchasing our stuff, we DIRECTLY told them we want to refund by cash. Th whole process is very easy and doesn’t take a lot of time. I don’t know, maybe we are lucky. I heard the counter could be swarmed by other tourists. Owh, and the custom did not check my purchased items when we go to get that manual stamp for 1 of my receipt – we unpack the purchased items earlier.

Penat je aku unpack barang yang beli keluar dari luggage. Ish.

We go through the terminal to the boarding gate where Su and I manage to go to the Laduree shop to buy few boxes of Laduree to bring home. It is worth it because you get airport discount when you buy it here. We then board the 3pm flight to Kuala Lumpur via Dubai.

We reached Dubai for a very short transit time. Our flight from Dubai also departs in the wee hours – 3 a.m this time. On the flight from Dubai, I think all of us sleep very well. I don’t even wake up for any meals. Too tired I guess. We arrived in KL as per scheduled and went back home for a series of serious jet lags.
