MENY
Saturday was not a good day for me,
I was supposed to go to Cyprus but everything went wrong. Let me walk you trough it.
I was ready 3 hours before my flight was going to depart, according to TFL it would take me about an hour and 15min to get to the airport. So I counted 1.5 hours just to be sure....Next time I will count 2 hours extra, cause that is what someone with my bad luck seem to need.
right to start with my bus to victoria where my train was leaving from decided to terminate half way there. What the busses then decided was not to have another bus for 30 min, well I don't know how long it took but after 30 min I gave up and took another bus which the route was a bit longer. Still by this point I could've made it if I ran inbetween changes and nothing went wrong with my train....
Yeah my train... so first I tried to go through the barears and the lady there wouldn't let me as I had missed my train I had to buy a new ticket. I walked to a que where she had pointed at but after about 20 min I panicked and walked to another lady and asked her if I could buy a ticket from her cause If I miss this train I will miss my flight, she said sure and asked for my card, when she saw that it was contactless she asked me why I didn't just tap that to get trough, I don't have to buy a ticket....My thought, why the hell didn't the other lady tell me that...
Anyways I run sit down on the train have a bit of a panick attack as I realised that the train journey is 30 min and my bag drog closes in 35 min, I sit there and think I can still make it. I can do this.
I couldn't. 1 stop away from Gatwick we stop and the driver says that there's something on the track and two more trains in front of ours have stoped and we can't go anywhere. My friends kept on saying that I could do it, just run and grab someone as soon as you get there. I was ready to do this, until the anouncment came that we have stoped at the South Terminal and my flight is the noth....So I slowed down, admitted that I was defited and missed my flight. got the shuttle to the right terminal. and changed my flight to the day after, which they had 1 seat left, finally some luck :)
My mum helped me book a hotel for the night where I din't have dinner cause everything was sold out couldn't sleep cauce I didn't like the temperature in the room and I was starwing, ate for about 3 at breakfast cause I was so hungry. and then once on the plan, all I wanted to do was sleep, but no the person at the window decided to go to the loo about every 5 minutes. Which meant I had to get up to.
But after 24 hours of panick and hell I am finally here :)
After getting up as if I was going to work, I have had my workout, and gone to the shop to get breakfast where the lady in the till had a go at me cause I didn't weigh the frut....Great so far :)
