"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you have lived at all"    Leo Rosten

    Oh budget airlines, where am I now??

    Disclaimer: on this computer the y are in the z spot, but internet is expensive so i dont have time to slow down and fix it so deal with it. there is also no apostrophe

    Ok so i alreadz wasnt happz with the budget flights as thez have me arriving past 11pm which means im sleeping in airports a couple times, but its budget flights so what can zou expect

    Well im alreadz to go to Milan to sleep in the airport and then catch the earlz train to Cinque Terra. Waiting waiting, our flight isnt leaving. Tada zour flight is cancelled!!!

    So that was at 2130. There were 200 angrz spanish and italians ahead of me in line for the easz jet customer representatives. each one takes min 10 to 20 mins to figure out how to rearrange flights. bz the time i got to the front it was 2am and thez told me i couldnt flz to milan for two full dazs. so i just said, i dont reallz care, im just backpacking can zou flz me anzwhere tomorrow? that made her happz as i didnt care if i got to milan

    so where did i flz. Basil, Switzerland!!

    it wasnt all bad though. thez put me up in a hotel......ok so not just a hotel. The biggest hotel in europe. NĂ´ kidding. It was ginormous, 91,000 square meteres!! i got a free buffet dinner...at 3am then went up to mz king siye bed and washroom with that little butt washer in it. It was el primo. Got a free buffet breakie out of it as well and speant the whole daz sleeping until mz 7pm flight.

    OK so one last thing about flying. Our flight was delazed leaving Madrid to Basil and then a bunch of thunderstorms popped up around swityerland. well in those conditions air traffic control onlz lets so manz planes through per hour. Well since we were delazed we missed our time slot as such thez said wed have to wait 2 hours for another time slot.

    Luckilz easz jet called and reworked somethings and got a new time slot and we were onlz half an hour late.

    Also luckilz i walked to a random hostel 20 mins before thez closed and thez had one bed left so i dint have to sleep in the train station. ZaZ!!

    So no Cinque Terra for me which is sad, but im loving switzerland!!
