Apparently the passengers sat on the plane a long time and then had to get off as they could not find a crew for it and the other crew had reached their time limit. One elderly couple from Shipley in Yorkshire had returned the next day at 7.30 am to be told they could not fly that day either.
The lady who sat with us had gone to a hotel with the two little boys whilst her friend, a German girl, had stood in a queue for hours (two different people told us the queue stretched from one end of the airport to the other - all flights seemed to be cancelled) only to be given a note to say they had to find a hotel and it was then 11 pm when she joined the other lady at the hotel they had stayed in previously. Chaos! Was I glad we were not due back Sunday.
Well, as I discovered I had lots more photos to show but thought I would not bore you with all 149 of them, minus the ones already uploaded of course. However are a few I thought might interest you
We had one of these not knowing what on earth they were. Guesses at marzipan or apple fillings! Nope! They were stollen type fillings but not as a solid ball, it kind of fell apart. Anyone know what the real thing is?
And a close up of the lovely glass ornaments - love that open lily shape, the small ones were only €7 which I thought was reasonable but how to get it home safely?
And for those of you who tried to guess the price of the Ghluwein in Berlin's Lidyl ... ... €1.19. ... ... which poses the question, does it really cost so much more to ship it over here, pay the tax etc and who is the winner in all of this?
