Travelling back home

Monday September 12th 2022

When the alarm went at 5, we woke very unwillingly, and I discovered I had a sore throat, which gradually worsened during the day.

We were down in hotel reception by 5.45, and were soon on our way. The sun rose shortly after 6.


It was an almost 2 hour drive to Munich airport, and quite difficult to find the EasyJet desks once there. The terminal is organised into A, B, C and D, which none of us realised, and we were dropped outside D. After panicking because our plane was not on the destination board, somebody ran about and discovered EasyJet in B, so it was a long walk there, and an even longer walk to passport control, because we were not able to use the automated passport gates and had to walk the entire length of the terminal to get to a person. Then we had to go through security and walk the entire length of the terminal a second time to get to our gate. However, we had been given the gate number at check-in, so at least we were able to go there and sit in one of the few seats. I was starting to shiver and feel quite unwell.

Fortunately, it was a short flight, but I was feeling really unwell by the time we arrived. The queues for taxis seemed to be long, so we ended up getting 2 buses, one to Redhill and one to Oxted, and then a taxi home from there. I got straight into bed, feeling really rotten. Thank heavens whatever it is didn’t strike me until this last day! At least it didn’t ruin my holiday.
