Running to catch a long gone plane
Today we had a very tough flight schedule our plane was scheduled to leave Dubrovnik at 7:25 am. Unfortunately the flight was delayed by 15 minutes upon arrival to Frankfurt. When we landed we had to sprint over to the Lufthansa gate which required going through security again and then we had to run over to our gate where we found out that the time that was on our boarding passes was the time when the plane was gone. We had to go back to the airplane help counter where we waited for a long time for our ticket number to pop up on the electronic board. Once our number appeared my parents were freaking out whenever some one went up to the counter ahead of them because they thought someone was cutting in front of them. I had to explain to them that the board we were on currently was just to get you ready. When we were finally getting help from the service desk another woman tried to cut the line because she only spoke Spanish and no one could understand her. So my mom busted out the Spanish and helped a lady who didn't understand the sign and was very confused. We had to pay a little bit of money to get on the Munich flight, but we ended up okay making our next flight to Munich. And from Munich we flew to Zurich. We arrived at our hotel and walked across the river for an amazing dinner that I loved and it was a great day!
