As we were not particularly happy with the services of the originally booked airline Air Europa, we decided to deliberately miss our connecting flight in Madrid (after a relaxing layover trying to sleep on the hard stone floor) by queuing at the adjacent gate for a flight to Frankfurt and pretended to realize our mistake about five minutes after boarding for the flight to Zurich had closed. This then allowed us to book a particularly cheap flight with our beloved Swiss just 1:30h later, of course with no stress (and swearing) at all.&lt;\/irony&gt; I guess we got too little sleep after all&#8230; Conveniently, the Swiss flight was eventually cancelled due to bird damage and we got rebooked to a flight leaving Madrid at 15:25 instead of 10:00&#8230; \ud83d\ude44 Well, great stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, we&#8217;re home safely and that is all that matters. You&#8217;ll hear from us again next week when we&#8217;re on the road to southern Africa. Until then. cheers!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Nach einer anstrengenden 30-st\u00fcndigen Reise sind wir endlich in der Luisenstrasse angekommen. Da wir mit den Leistungen der urspr\u00fcnglich gebuchten Fluggesellschaft Air Europa nicht besonders zufrieden waren, haben wir uns entschlossen, unseren Anschlussflug in Madrid (nach einem erholsamen Schlaf auf dem harten Steinboden) bewusst zu verpassen, indem wir am angrenzenden Gate f\u00fcr einen Flug nach Frankfurt anstanden und so taten, als ob wir unseren Fehler erst f\u00fcnf Minuten nach dem Ende des Boardings f\u00fcr den Flug nach Z\u00fcrich erkannt hatten. So konnten wir dann schon 1:30h sp\u00e4ter einen besonders g\u00fcnstigen Flug mit unserer geliebten Swiss buchen, nat\u00fcrlich ohne Stress (und Fluchen). [Ironie Ende] Ich sch\u00e4tze, wir haben doch zu wenig Schlaf bekommen&#8230; Geschickterweise wurde der Swiss Flug schlie\u00dflich wegen Vogelsch\u00e4den komplett gestrichen und wir wurden auf einen Flug umgebucht, der Madrid um 15:25 Uhr statt um 10:00 Uhr verl\u00e4sst&#8230; \ud83d\ude44 Nun, tolle Sache.<\/p>\n<p>Wie auch immer, wir sind sicher zu Hause und das ist alles, was z\u00e4hlt. Ihr werdet n\u00e4chste Woche wieder von uns h\u00f6ren, wenn wir auf dem Weg ins s\u00fcdliche Afrika sind.
