Surprises
On Saturday the family and I flew from Paderborn to London-Stansted and took a rental car up to pay a surprise visit on my mum. My sister and family was visiting from the US and I hadn't seen them for about 8 years or so. We surprised them quite a bit and spent a great couple of days in North Norfolk. We even managed to squeeze a trip to the beach into our visit.
The only thing that didn't quite go as planned was our return trip. Our flight back was delayed for an hour (i.e. 10 minutes longer than the actual flight from London to Paderborn takes) and we didn't arrive back until 1am this morning.
The incoming AirBerlin flight was delayed because they had to fly from Paderborn to London via Hannover to pick up some stranded passengers. The flight-time from Paderborn to Hannover is 20 minutes.
