Part two of our journey started with a quick stop at Singapore’s famous Changi Airport. With just enough time to stretch our legs and explore, we made a beeline for the KrisFlyer Lounge. A drink and a bite to eat sounded perfect—until we discovered it was packed. After a brief game of “musical tables,” we finally found a spot to perch, but sadly, no time (or space) for a refreshing shower this time around.
Before long, it was time to head to the gate for boarding. By now, the body clock was firmly stuck somewhere between "midnight snack" and "why am I awake?" Needless to say, there weren’t many photos taken during this leg—primarily because I passed out before even making it to the first meal! Pro travel tip: when you’re exhausted, plane food can wait.
I did manage to rally for a midnight snack before slipping back into a semi-conscious state for another stretch of shut-eye. Breakfast arrived a couple of hours before we touched down in Amsterdam, and I have to say, there’s something oddly satisfying about having a meal at 35,000 feet.
Once we landed, customs was a breeze—we were through in about 15 minutes! However, the same couldn’t be said for the luggage situation. After racing to the conveyor belt, we waited (and waited... and waited) for a solid 40 minutes before our bags made their grand entrance. Not all was lost, though; the downtime gave Mike and me the chance to set up an eSim on my phone, so we had internet ready to go.
With that, we were officially in Amsterdam and ready to kick off our adventure—now with both our luggage and a functioning internet connection. A promising start, don’t you think?
