Well, what a day and what a crazy journey!
We were up and out of the hotel bright and early. When the alarm went off I was a little startled because I was having a lovely little sleep.
Our driver Yuri was waiting for us to take us to the airport and on the way I had a good look at the roads around Riga.
Thanks to Yuri, we got to the airport in plenty of time and things were looking good for our first flight to Amsterdam. We even got to get on the plane and sit down before the pilot told us that Amsterdam airport had closed and we were going back to the airport, we might have to wait for six hours!!!!
Well, the Silly One was very unhappy. It was getting a bit nervy as to whether we would get back home today.
After a few phone calls and a long chat with the airport lady, she got us on a flight to Frankfurt to connect through to Zurich later. So……….
Out we went again, back in through security again and as we had been on the go for four hours already and not got anywhere, we sat down for a rest…
…and a coffee!
The flight to Frankfurt was very, very busy and there were some angry people on board! Thankfully we were on the move on time.
The flight wasn’t too long though and we both caught up on a little sleep. I am glad that the Silly One let me sit with him.
When we landed, we got the bus to the terminal to catch our next plane.
Frankfurt Airport is HUGE!!! It took us a while to walk around and get to our next plane but we got there, were on board nice and quick and got some seats all to ourselves.
No sooner were we in the air than we were coming down into Zurich. Lovely Zurich.
Quickly on to the train home for a very happy reunion with my lovely friends!
I had a lovely time in Riga but it’s soooooo nice to be home!
