Stuck at the Frankfurt Germany airport for a six-hour layover. Our flight out of Barcelona was delayed for over an hour due to a traffic control strike in Paris so we missed our connecting flight. We won’t get to Rome now until almost midnight. Good thing we don’t have an early tour tomorrow.
Ate dinner last night in one of the little restaurants close to our hotel. I had grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Best meal ever!
Tonight we ate at a German restaurant in the airport. I had grilled chicken, salad and potatoes. It was OK but I wished I hadn’t eaten some of the potatoes. They didn’t have any other veggies available. This is my first break from my bright lines on this trip. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do! At least I didn’t have apple strudel. Still haven’t had any flour or sugar.
Still have almost four hours to wait. Sure makes a day long when delays happen. We each got a $10 voucher for dinner. Our bed in Rome will be much appreciated when we get there.
We got stuck in a huge people jam leaving the airport security area. I came close to having a panic attack. We got shoved, pushed, and stepped on. No personal space at all and no consideration shown to anyone. Glad we made it out intact.
Some days travel is easy and other days you get delayed. Guess it was our turn to get delayed.
Grateful for this experience, grateful we may get to Rome yet today and grateful for a quiet spot to sit and wait for our flight.
