The Journey Begins

Off on our Europe Adventure, finally. 24 hrs in Hong Kong, which was a nice break. Had a late night departure for Zurich so had 12 hrs to entertain ourselves. Lots of coffee and lots of 'steps' around the local mall. Touch and go getting on the Zurich flight as it was quite full, and lots of staff trying to get on. We got the Emergency exit row beside the overwing door, so lots of legroom. Spent 2 hrs (7-9 am) at Zurich Airport trying to connect the eSims, (fail!), train to Lucerne (10-11.30) where we bought a Simcard and got food (12-1pm) Our self checkin room wasn't ready till 3pm, wouldn't let us check in anyway! - long story short, finally found the right hotel 😂 still wouldn't check us in, found a local who rang the office repeatedly... longer story shorter, finally got in at 3.45 pm, 37 hrs after leaving our room in Hong Kong. Shattered is an understatement! Have seen nothing of Lucerne, straight to bed and slept 9 hrs. Now awake, and off on today's adventure. ❤️Read more
