Flights

I'll try to update my blog as often as possible, but it's going to be more or less like a bullet point travelling blog in the next 7 weeks.

I have to admit that I was quite nostalgic during my 24+ hour journey. I recalled what I was feeling 2003 and how I am feeling 4 years after. There are things I lost in the last 4 years, but generally speaking, I have gained much more in my life.
  • There were people who were my rocks and I was holding their hands; now they are no longer be with me, but I have also met new people who fulfill my life and bring me joys.
  • I was once young, naive, skinny and my future was full of unknown; now I know my way around Europe
  • I didn't know anyone on this continent; now I am visiting everyone I met in that year
  • I wanted to bring someone special back to Slovakia to share this special memory of mine; 4 years later, I am alone back to this continent

Auckland - Hong Kong
Every time I passed custom, I was so afraid that they were going to take my beautiful drinking bottle away. At Auckland airport, the officer took a look at my sexy drinking bottle with water in it and said, I had to get rid it or drink it all - that's a lot of water to drink!! :o I was panicking as I love my new bottle, so I looked around and had a cunning plan quickly to save it.
"Can I water the plant??" I asked
"I don't know what you are talking about, but I am not watching!" He turned his head away and without second thought, I quickly tipped everything into the plant. Phew~~ Saved! He was then amazed at how quickly I can drink the water!

I haven't been sleeping much in the last 3 days, so it was no surprised that I fell into sleep even before the plane took off. However, I managed to stay awake and watched all the films that I want to watch on the way to Hong Kong. Then, I was so sleepy after 11 hour flight that I didn't have the energy to look after my stomach when I was in Hong Kong :p

Hong Kong - Frankfurt
There was a little accident before me boarding the right plane and I blamed the tiredness though . While, I was hugging my bag and sleeping outside of Gate 68, an airline attendant came to every passenger and asked what flight we were taking.
"CX285" I said
"You are in the wrong gate." He said and directed me to Gate 66.

Who would expect there to be TWO flights to the same city within an hour apart?!!! :( Anyway, I hurried up to the right gate and was the last person on board. I drifted off for the entire 12 hour flight and felt like a zombie when I arrived Frankfurt. There must be a big "Leave me along" sign on my face on my way to Stuttgart. It was 6am in the morning after 24+ hour flight. You can't blame me, can you?
