home at last

well, well, well,
the last time I wrote to you I was just about to leave Pattaya. Now I have been home for about just as long as I have been on the road... you're about to get the full story.
Well, it all started with my creditcard being declined at the airport on Friday morning, so I ended up having to trade in my return-ticket to Frankfurt to a oneway-ticket to Munich, which is where I was supposed to have my stopover.
THEN my flight was delayed by about 4 hours which ended up being 5 hours in stead. So in stead of arriving in Munich at around 5:30 pm I got there at close to 10 pm by which time it was impossible to get a train connection home. And since I didn't have an onward-flight any longer, it wasn't the airline's responsiblity anymore. So I ended up camping at Munich airport for the night a friendly bartender took me in halfway through the night and gave me some free coffee. Until at 4 am. I was finally able to catch a train, which after many more transfers, a busride in between, a couple missed connections finally brought me home save and sound. Only I got home on Saturday at 1 pm instead of Friday night at 10 pm!
By the time I finally got home I was way past tired... after being up for about 37 hours and on the road for about 36 hours.

love, Hanna
