Dream day

But then it was Friday, 07.09.2007 and I was off again..... Germany for the weekend to participate at a friends wedding and then TURKEY!
Getting to sleep at 4 am....... after finishing work at late hours, packing my suitcase, cleaning my flat.... all of this did not provide for a long sleep..... which means that it was a bit clumsy!
Travelling the bus to the airport took me nearly 2 hours! I did remember, having written at least 3 lists with the top item MONEY...... that I needed some cash! And I knew a perfect ATM at the airport!........ Unfortunatly the cash maschine did not know me, cause as soon as I stuffed it with my card, it simply ate it!!! So, I needed advice....... and, right....... there was also a plane to catch!........ Latvia is now not exactly, what I would call "service oriented"...... in fact the nicely dressed blond lady at the bank counter just answered, she would not be the right one to attend to........WHO else????? ...... I was on my way to Turkey....... without a bank card..... with a bit of change..... but most important with a plane ticket...... right then......
Check in, business as usual I thought, not realizing that I checked in at the wrong terminal....yes all of this really happened..... and yes, it is still me, claudia.....
I bought something to eat, especially to mention also something to drink......the big bottle of water!!!!.....being very proud to care about drinking water...... and then, at the assumed gate, no flight to Frankfurt..... how is that possible, 15 minutes before take off??? .....None waiting there???..... well, as the Germans say: "Advantaged is who actually is able to read!!!".....
And then I was very quick :-)) ...... check-out through the basement of the airport with passport controll, running through the arrival hall to the other end of the airport, checking-in through customs, getting rid of my water supplies, passport controll again........ only to notice, I was in time, but the aircraft delayed for 30 minutes.....
To make this loooong text short(er), finally Ryainair brought me safe for Frankfurt Hahn!
But the dream day had not ended yet..... Eric, who asked me to take a bus from Hahn to Bingen, did not tell me, that the bus actually stopped at every corner on its way. I got a paid but guided tour around the "Hundsrueck" with free stories told by two older Ladies and the bus driver. Arriving in Bingen I knew everything about local bus companies and their potential best drivers...... Apart from travelling with the bus longer than taking the plane to Germany, I had my share of amusement......later that day, when arrived at the place for the celebration, being tired did not matter anymore....... To be honest, reflecting all of this, it was a dream day!!!
