Bahrain to Paris

This is still at the lounge in Bahrain:
We headed for our next transfer, Paris from Bahrain, which took another six hours of flying.
At the Paris airport, we had to ride a bus from one terminal to another, and that bus kept going around in circles, as if the driver himself didn't know where to go either!
Somehow, we had our passports "entry stamped" at the Paris immigration, instead of at Amsterdam, heaven knows why, but that's how it goes!
Hardly anyone at the airport spoke English, so we had quite some difficulty finding our boarding gate.
We hung out for an hour at the Charles de Gaulle airpoort's Air france lounge and we "discovered" this great chocolate drink mix and some brown sugar all-natural cookies, which I stocked on for the rest of our trip.

Hi Pia! Sorry ha, sasagot lang ang OC.

Hindi kaya dahil sa EU kaya na-stamp ang passports niyo sa Paris pa lang? Just a guess...

Thanks, Sonny! :)

@bigmermaid: I dunno nga ano yung patakaran sa ganun kasi we didn't have our final exit in Paris... but in Amsterdam, wala talagang immigration kami dinaanan. I didn't bother na to ask why ganun, observation ko lang yun :)

the reason is that your point of entry Paris-CDG, don lang magtatatak yung immigration sa passport..the flight from paris to amsterdam is considered a "local" flight...

come visit amsterdam sana ulit...just in case, eto email ko if ever you are around uli: sonnyboie.at.hotmail.dot.com

Ingats.
