I am back from France for now and it feels great! But as always there were a few problems.
The first problem came when I got to the airport and found my flight was cancelled. Not delayed, cancelled. I was supposed to fly from Strasbourg Entzheim to London City Airport. Instead I had to go from Entzheim to Paris Charles de Gaulle, and then from there to London Heathrow.
The next (not really a problem but more of an) annoyance was on the second flight. I was sat next to a couple. The guy told a few bad jokes and wouldn't leave the girl alone, and then proceeded to read poems that he had written from his book about Jesus, and then started on some sermons. The girl would randomly interject by reading passages from the Bible she was carrying.
The last problem was kind of expected. I knew Air France would do something wrong. I was waiting to get my luggage from the conveyor thingamabob and I heard my name called over the speakers along with some mumbling which was repeated. So I headed towards the desk where I was informed that my suitcase was in France. Oops. It seems that Air France didn't want to transfer my suitcase to the next flight. I had even asked the office there if I needed to get my suitcase my self etc. But no, they said it was fine. It wasn't too much of a problem - I filled out a form and they sent my suitcase by mail, which arrived the next day. Brilliant.
So all in all it was a bit of an adventure! Oh! And because we flew over, I saw the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe in real life for the first time in my life!
