As usual, unexpected hiccups at the start of our travel. Our connecting flight in Amsterdam was delayed then at the last minute, there was a change in the departure gate. It really strained my knees and patience with all the additional walking. It was even compounded when we had to take down and up a flight of stairs to board a smaller plane to Hamburg. What was bad, it was raining as we were boarding in the tarmac so we were all wet as we took our seats and had to bear it during the 1 hour flight to Hamburg. We thought it could not get any worse. We asked for a wheelchair assistance and the whole cavalry arrived. It would have been hilarious as a medic van came to get me but just could not laughed it out as we were just too tired with all the waiting and extra walking. We arrived at the Hampton Hilton and looked forward to eating dinner as we were starving and exhausted but the hotel restaurant only serves breakfast so we had to get out again and looked for a nearby restaurant And it was not easy as nobody seemed to speak English. Eventually, we ended in a Portuguese bistro after a long walk again. That was Day 2 and we are just hoping things will turn out better in the days to come.
