In the air again...
We have just departed Berlin for Paris, Orly. We are barely 15 minutes into the flight & Yvonne is already asleep,
she is getting very good at sleeping on planes. It has been raining & blowing all day in Berlin with the temp around 10 degrees
It has been so heavy that it seemed almost like night time.
Now @ 30,000ft the sun is streaming in, a snow white field of cloud beneath us & a cobalt blue sky above.
It is 25 to 8 & the sun is still high in the sky. Drinks & dinner are on their way. The forecast for Paris is fine & 20 degrees.

I reckon I have already put on a kilo or 2.
Dinner now complete,very unusual when I booked this flight on the net, I had the option of a chef prepared meal (ha ha ) from a very large
menu for a very small charge. We have now received that meal. It really was hot & spicy as ordered & delicous & big.
We must have been the only ones on this full plane to order a meal as everyone else got a packet of peanuts or a Mars bar (which we also got).
tHE SMELL OF OUR 2 meals wafted through the whole plane.There was some serious meal envy going on.

Well this is quite a short flight (1.15) so so we just finished climbing out & are now decending into Paris so I will shut down before I am told to.

Next morning..What achange to fly into Paris compared to every other airport.
Off the plane we walked a good 20 minutes. including travelators to finally reach baggage claim.Yvonne got the passports out
& all the usual stuff you need to escape the clutches of an airport, only to find that when we walked out of baggage claim
we were on the street.No customs, no passport control, no security, just nothing.
At this point I may also mention to those people who may travel to the USA & NZ may recall departure cards, arrival cards,
passport control, security & baggage checks, x- rays, body scans, finger printing, photos & retina scans.
In oiu oiu Paris this does not apply.
