The Fun Continues;Things really start going down the toilet.


By 8.30am we needed to be at the airport. 7.20am we were waiting to check out of our hostel but the reception was closed and didn't open till 7.30am. Should we forfeit 30 Euros and not worry about handing in the keys? Or should we wait? We waited. In hindsight this was the wrong decision but our excuse is we were a bit sleep deprived so our thought processes were still in sleep mode.

We just missed our train and the next one was running late. Not only that but then it stopped at every single station. However we arrived in time to check-in only..... where was the check-in lady? The other counters hadn't seen her, the check-in sign was still up, what was




going on?
None of the airport staff could tell us and none of them knew where the Sky Europe counter was because everything had just been changed around. Arrrgh! Finally, finally walking around in circles, we found the Sky Europe agents who were absolutely no help whatsoever. Arrgh!

The upshot was Sky Europe were completely in the right and we were obviously in the wrong so if we would like to book tickets for the following day that would be 350Euros, thank you have a nice day. Arrgh! Arrrgh! Arrrgh! As if!

We did manage to get friendly service from Brussels Airlines and cheapish tickets. Now we only had a ten hour wait at the airport which would have been okay except they didn't sell any fresh waffles. Sometimes there really is no justice.

Originally the photo of the lady pissoir was intended for "What the?" on the Rove Live show. No I didn't try it out, yes I did feel funny whipping out my camera in the ladies toilets.
