Changing elements..
It's 05h15 in the morning and we are preparing to touch down at Changi Airport in Singapore. Sipping over the waters, landing gear extended like the feet of a giant bird, the momentary lull as the plane readies itself for touchdown, then almost a sigh as we connect with terra firma again, leaving behind the freedom of flight for the solidity of the earth.. changing elements... 27 degrees outside.. at 05h15 in the morning! Very different to the 8 degrees of Cape Town at the same time. Now for a 4 hour wait before I take to the skies again for Bali this time.
As we taxi to the terminal building I realise that the runway runs over a major highway - not just the flight-path but the runway!
