First we missed the train from Braunschweig to Frankfurt - got the time wrong. However that was just an expensive mistake.
Second: the taxi ride from our hotel out to the airport was a bit of a nightmare. We got caught in a traffic jam in a tunnel and the driver had to try a couple of alternative routes to the airport. That was probably expensive too. Plus the heavens opened just as we were reaching the airport and there was a major downpour with hail, thunder and lightning.
Thirdly: the incredibly heavy rain resulted in water coming through the entrance ceiling like a sprinkler, the whole doorway was flooded and Barry slipped over. A bit embarrassing and he got wet.
Then finally Barry got stopped at the security scanner when he walked through it, plus they went right through his pack.
Let's hope our flight is not delayed because the airport shuts down at 11pm and no flights go out after that. Our flight is due out at 10.10.
I think I'll have another wine !
