Missing your return flight...
Naturelich missed his return flight from Basel! What a joke! 2 minutes too late! The guy at the gate (Swiss) was unfortunately not very helpful.
My baggage had already been unloaded. Congratulations and a nice weekend.
So I had to run through the airport back and forth - again and again - to hunt down my suitcase. After 45 minutes: I was lost but the baggage found. Then, I decided to take a rental car back to Düsseldorf. It was already 19:30 when I was getting off in a black BMW 320 Diesel. Beam me to Düsseldorf, Scotty. The weather was not all too good, so I had to drive carefully. The beamer is limited to go not faster than 220 km/h. On the way, I picked up my photo camera's power cord which a colleague of mine had forgotten at a hotel nearby. I reached home sweet home at around 23:30 hrs, brought my suitcase upstairs (still with "Carry on baggage", "Swiss priority" and "DUS"-stickers on it) and would have loved to go to bed.
As you can imagine Basel weeks are always rather exhausting so I had far too little sleep. But the car had to get to the airport.
So I refueled the horse. Accidently took Shell V-Power for EUR 1.109 a liter. Today is a good day to die.
Then I drove to the airport - being a little envious at all the tourists arriving, who had 2 weeks of holidays - where I dropped the keys off.
Well, a taxi. A very friendly driver. But taking me along the more expensive way. Thank you, Oh Mighty Lord, for this wonderful day!
Now, at around 1:20 a.m. (after having unpacked and repacked for tomorrow's trip to Osnabrück) I am writing this blog entry, knowing that next time I read it, it will all sound better than it does right now... Good night!
