We were surprised that we had to go through immigration to get to the hotel, for some reason, we’d assumed it was in the airport building itself. There was certainly a lot of business for the agents although our flight from Tokyo arrived after 11:00 pm. After the shuttle dropped us off, we were so dog tired we slept fitfully through until 9:00 am. We got up, forwent the expensive buffet breakfast downstairs and, instead, discovered the way to walk through the parking garage. It takes less than 10 minutes. We had intended on taking a shuttle bus into Bangkok but waited for nearly an hour for the A1 for Salom Road. It didn’t come and then it started to rain. The gals manning the outside sales office were fairly preoccupied with everything except work but did manage to give us our money back. Although we had been on the tarmac we’d never bee in the Swamiboomee airport. We ate in a little food court on the ground floor of the airport. It must’ve been the cheapest place in the airport as we saw all the flight staff also grabbing food there. We went back into the hotel and again somewhat accidently slept until 5:30 pm. Gads, will I ever be able to catch up with the time on this side of the Pacific?
Our three hour flight departs from here at 10:25 pm. It’s hard to believe we will be winging our way over the island and into Colombo in such a short time from now.
