28/03/2010 First leg to Sri Lanka Worst connection ever
Up early to get some cheap pharmaceuticals and then back for a quick swim before checkout. Our flight to Malaysia wasn’t until 4.30pm so we sat in the lobby updating our blog until we had to leave for the airport.
We had intended to stay in the amazing sounding airport lounge with beds, wi-fi & shower overnight but on arrival in KL we were told we couldn’t enter as check-in wasn’t till the next day and it was only for transit passengers! (Air Asia only sells single sectors so we couldn’t check our luggage through). This meant finding a motel at 9pm at night and being back at the airport for a 6am flight! After a lot of searching the taxi attendant told us of a supposedly nearby hotel but our driver got lost and spoke no English so it was over an hour before we arrived at the ‘nearby’ hotel. On arrival we hadn’t eaten so we went down to the restaurant to find a snack where we met up with a couple of French guys who were doing our trip in reverse (they had just left Sri Lanka)! We swapped tips and contact details and headed back to our room for a measly four hours sleep.
