Day 27: Just because there is meat and cheese …
… doesn’t mean you have to eat it.
For once, we listened to common sense and just had muesli and yoghurt. Yes, just once in four weeks we actually listened.
A fairly uneventful day really. We found our way back to Frankfurt airport and boarded a plane ready for 13 hours of leg crunching, back spasming, non-sleep. Of course, first we had to try and check in though for some reason the police had cordoned off all paths leading to the Cathay Pacific check in desk. So we stood and waited. Nothing. I approached a man who was wearing an airport ID badge and gave him a little “Sprechen zie Englisch?” and was greeted with a “I can’t tell you”, a shake of the hands and he walked off. Charming.
We still don’t know what happened but shortly after that they dropped the ropes and away we went.
