Literally “nothing to write home about”!! Today was a travelling day spent in an airport and a plane. We had an easy leisurely morning but had to be out of the flat by 11:00 and we had gotten an email from Ryan Air saying there may be delays at passport control, so best to arrive early. So we opted to go straight out to the airport - easy peasy on the Metro. But then we spent the better part of the day there - no fun! A late-leaving but otherwise uneventful Ryan Air flight to Strasbourg where we picked up the car - a jazzy little Peugot and headed off to Colmar. A stop on the way at a 24 hour service station to pock up some brekky items and a couple of pizzas to cook at the flat, since there were no places to eat that were open in Colmar.
Found the flat no problem but a glitch - the previous occupants had forgotten to leave the key in the lockbox, so we waited for about 40 minutes while someone else brought a key over. On the upside, I got to practise my French, speaking to a young woman who lived in the building and was rather wondering why these people were standing outside her building with their luggage. She let us in to wait in the lobby. Finally the keys arrived and we got in, cooked our Ristorante pizzas and went to bed. Not the most exciting day of the trip, but then travel days usually aren’t!!
