The Airport

My son and I left this morning, in very misty weather, for Manchester Airport, and sat for a while watching planes taking off. Our plane was then delayed for an hour, due one of the crew apparently being replaced in the morning. We then went to the gate - through the gate, and stood on the stairs for another hour while waiting because there was a "technical issue" in the cockpit. Then, we were transferred to another gate, back to waiting on the stairs while they loaded up catering, before we finally boarded over 3 hours late. 

Still, we arrived in Hamburg about half eight local time, and then at our hotel at about 9am. 

Ah. Let the holidays begin...
