Stuck in Switzerland...again! Not a good day.

So today guys, being a bank holiday and therefore being cheaper flights and less chaotic motorways than tomorrow, my parents informed me that it would make much more sense to travel back to France today than tomorrow.

Although reluctant, I knew it made sense. So after the bad mood passed, I packed my bags and headed off to Heathrow airport to fly to Basel airport in Switzerland, and then catch the train to Strasbourg.

Well as it's me, and my luck, before leaving the house I found out I lost my Strasbourg room keys. Great start. So I get to the airport and there's a sliiiiight delay. Nothing too major, but still a bit of a pain. So I land, grab my bag, you guessed it, last one off the plane. That's my luck again. So after a bus to the station, I get there to find the ticket office is closed. This isn't that important, I just wanted to know when the next Basel to Strasbourg train was.

After scouting out the nearest timetable, I found out the last train had left 10 minutes ago. Now is it just me, or is leaving just 10 minutes before you get there, so much more frustrating then a few hours ago? So I was am stuck. In Switzerland. AGAIN. I spent the last hour looking for hotels that weren't £7,803,938,756 a night for a single room, and so now I'm bringing you this from a youth hostel.

My life right now...

The things I do for adventures eh?

Rats Out!

EDIT: I'm now watching Not Another Teen Movie. Life just got more awesomeness

England goes into chaos after an inch of snow

The title kind of says it all here guys. Essentially, as England has received like 7 snowflakes, the entire country has gone crazy and closed. Annoyingly, Sat 18th I was supposed to fly home from Strasbourg (If you've been following me long you'll realise I'm there studying) for Christmas. However, after getting to Basel, Switzerland airport on a friday night, and spending all night playing Zelda Ocarina of time on my Project 64 emulator, I found out my flight was cancelled. Annoyed, I was told there was a later flight that day.

I changed my ticket for said flight, only to find out that THAT one was cancelled. Now, call me weird or a little strange, but there's something not so appetising about sleeping on a marble floor in a boring airport. This miiiight just be me. Who knows?

Anyway, as I fly with British Airways, I was told that I was entitled to a night's stay in a free hotel with a free bang up meal and breakfast. Exhausted, I grabbed a taxi to my new diggs. After what felt like the most amazing sleep, I headed back to the airport to catch my re-scheduled flight.

Oh hey guys guess what? CANCELLED. So I've changed my ticket for ANOTHER flight tomorrow, and even tried buying another ticket with a different airline. CANCELLED.

4 flights guys. 4 flights cancelled. Holy mother of balls all these flight cancellations are annoying.

Ok granted guys I'm in a foul mood (foul? fowl? Either way I mean bad, not chicken) but hell, I'm getting a free stay in an incredibly nice hotel, with free top quality food, and I'm not paying anything :D

I hope my flight tomorrow get's the all clear, otherwise I am going to implode.

Rats Out!
