Day 1 Tuesday 5th October 2002
Good bye Denmark
Very confusing day. I
had to go to work until 1 p.m. and the plane was leaving Aalborg 3.45 p.m. I had
a hard time concentrating, and there were a lot of thing I had to take care of
in the last few minutes - or later. Edel and I went to the bank, the printing
house and the library. It took a long time, so we ended up being in a hurry. The
last part of the well prepared packing did no go well. I simply put the last
things into the bags all anyhow.
It's now 7.35 p.m. and
I am standing in Frankfurt Airport. Standing is absolutely the correct
expression, for there are no seats available for me here. So far I have had no
problems. The trip from Aalborg to, Billund was ok, and also the trip from
Billund to Frankfurt. In Billund the temperature was 8 degrees C and here there
are 10. This air port is enormous and it took me some time to find the correct
gate. But I had to spend two hours here, so it was not a problem. On the plane
from Billund I had a bun with some kind of meat. I also had coffee with a little
drink, after all it is "summer holiday"
In the airport I bought "A painted house" by John Grisham for 11.30
Euro. A wonderful book.
I have now checked in, but I have to spend another 20 minutes here
before I can go in. It's very international here.
I envy the Japanese who are able to squat anywhere.

Finally I was allowed to go into a room with a lot
of chairs. I have been told that I must pick up my luggage in Johannesburg and
bring it through the customs. I hate that. It may cause me a lot of
trouble. |
