Our trip started from Nov 14 at 23:45, flying out on CX261.  The plane was the new one which has individual AV system.  Both of us watched more than 5 movies on the way out.  I had The Incredible Hulk, Wall-E, Batman Begins & Pleasantville.  They were movies which I had not seen before.  And of course Mamamia and a couple others!

We arrived on time on Nov 15, day 2, and went straight picking up our car.  The counter was quite easy to find and the process was quick too.  Alan was very looking forward to this as he had not been driving for 10 years.  He did not forget driving fortunately... however he forgot there was steering wheel lock!  Me being a car idiot, of course couldn't help.  We were wondering why the car did not start for a while before we realized the presence of the lock!  Stupid!

And then I had to work on the Garmin GPS which I had borrowed from my friend.  I spent days in HK to find my way through it.  Luckily I had done all the work at home.  Operating it was then quite easy.  And we could not possibly have done this trip without this little amazing gadget!

Julie's flight were to arrived 3 hours later than ours so we had to find some place to go.  Our GPS told us that there was a shopping mall not far away.  There was a huge Carrefour and we bought a few eateries and sparkling water, my favorite.

We went picking up Julie, long time no see!  And headed for the hotel in St Ouen.  It is quite an okay business hotel for the money we paid (80euros). 

Saint Ouen has got a large flea market, les Puces de Paris, selling old things, clothing, antiques and antique furniture. 

We spent a couple of hours in the market and it was quite interesting to see but not a lot to buy.

After the 13 hour flight, me & Alan were quite tired even without the jet lag.  We walked around and found nothing attracting us to eat.  We finally bought a roast chicken and a bottle of red wine and ate them all in our room.

We slept very early that day, I believed it was 7pm.. hehe... See you tomorrow!
