First Day-Sunday 17th December
Dad drove me to Stanstead for about 11am. Then waited at the gate for my flight.Announcer said the gate had changed-so we all ran to the other gate.Then got on the plane and it was about to take off but it stopped.There was a fault.So it tried again but it happened again.So we all had to come off and be taken to a new plane.So now I was going to be 3 hours late.Eventually arrived in Frankfurt-Hahn were Andi was waiting for me with a sign saying "Welcome to Germany Robert"-lol.So we went to his car and I totally slipped over in the ice and got covered in mud (doh).How embarassing-especially when you first meet someone.Anyway we then drove to Trier in his car which felt weird being on the other side of the road of course.Eventually arrived at his Uni place and exchanged christmas presents.He got me loads of Kinder Eggs! Woohoo.
Day Two-Monday 18th December
Shopping!Went to Supermarket and bought food and stuff.Then went to town centre and did more shopping and looked at the christmas market-but didnt buy anything in it.Also looked at the Cathedral Of Trier.So that evening we had a very nice dinner of pasta and chicken (YUM!)Watched some weird German TV-rip offs of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire etc.
Day Three-Tuesday 19th December
Went to see Andi's friend (above)Nadja-then we travelled to Luxembourg so he could get petrol-we had a Pizza Hut (Hawain stuffed crust).On the way to the airport we got pulled over by the police-maybe I look like a drug dealer?? One of the policemen started talking German to me-thankfully Andi spoke for me..So got to the airport and we said our goodbyes-no trouble with the flight this time thank goodness.
