Dana’s 10 days have flown by.  We packed a lot into those days.  It is time r her to head back home to her men.  Callum is participating in the Swiftsure Sailing Race this weekend.  Dana needs to be home for Aidan so that he can go. 

We hop on the tram to the airport together.  Her flight is at 10:45ish so we arrive at the airport just after 9.  Plenty of time for a domestic European flight to Frankfurt where she will connect onto Vancouver.  She should arrive about 2:30 in the afternoon.

I head back to our room for a bit of a rest.  Along the way passing rows and rows of motor bikes and scooters.  Not a common sight at home.  .

I get a message from Dana that they cannot take off due to the weather.  It was very warm this morning, but now the clouds and wind have arrived.  She has an hour and a half layover in Frankfurt.  That does not look good at the moment.  She messages me again and they are now deplaning.  Another message, they are taking everyone to a hotel.  Not a local hotel, but one that is almost an hour away!!  Travel day hell again!!  They have booked her on a very early flight to Amsterdam in the morning.  She then has a 6 hour layover before her flight to Vancouver.  Sigh…

The room is not large, but it is very tall.  The ceiling is an interesting shape and the large window has a great view of the sky and restaurant downstairs.  After a rest I head out for some lunch. 

It is raining again.  Downstairs there is a restaurant that I can see from my window.  I decide to check it out.  It is so much larger than I had expected.  Everything here is so so old!!  I have a local appetizer of melon with prosciutto, a glass of chianti and some sparkling water.  It fills the bill.

It is time to head back to the airport.  Lindsey should be arriving almost on schedule.  She messaged me from Frankfurt.  There will be a little delay, but not much.

It is so good to see her.

We decide to have dinner at the downstairs restaurant.  Twice in one day definitely breaks the Greg Ross rule!!  Hahaha.  It is even larger than I saw this afternoon.  A whole other section at the rear where we are sitting tonight.  Some nice local wine and some beautiful pasta.  Fills the bill again.

A good day for me, a good day for Lindsey.  Not such a good day for Dana.
