• Heading for home

    October 3, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

    It is a long trip home as we will spend almost 18 hours in Frankfurt on the way back to Calgary. We have an airport hotel in Frankfurt to soften the length of stay and plan to have breakfast a the airport in the morning.

    Everything went as planned this morning, caught the 6:30 shuttle, nice breakfast at the airport and even boarded on time. The bad news is Frankfurt terminal radar system went down so no planes can land or takeoff…1 hour delay……now radar working at 20% so now 3 hour delay sitting at the gate😩

    Worked out better than we thought; just under 2 hour delay which we made up about an hour and arrived back in Calgary 1 hour late.

    Home. Great holiday but busy. We had fun, cycled hard, saw some beautiful things, had fun, great time with Mike and Barb, had more fun.
    The Croatians were very welcoming to us. Never once were we hurried out of a restaurant, hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, our tour guides seemed knowledgeable and entertaining. We would recommend it highly as a place to visit. We are not sure when we will be back there, but maybe someday.
