t-3h: The Airport

okay, back to where I left the scene... it is January 26th, 2015...

At around t-4h we are leaving P.'s sister's place. Booked a taxi that is (hopefully) big enough for all our stuff plus P. and V. plus Gina plus driver and of course plus myself. The taxi driver shows up a little early. And things are starting to be slightly stressful. All is very chaotic. But in the end all the people, dogs and all the stuff fit into the cab. Off we go...

We are two blocks into the journey, when V. asks, whom of us took the apartment keys with them. Turns out that nobody did. Damn.

At around t-3h we are arriving at the airport. We unload the cab and ask V. to wait outside (oh btw, it is about 35°C with quite a high humidity at that point in time). We enter the airport. It's a very busy place (sic!). Gina is actually intimidated. So we put her inside the open bag and put her on top of all the luggage. We are asking the guys at the checkin queue how to proceed with the checkin of the dog. Super nice guys, send us the SENASA way. So we continue to get to the SENASA offices.

SENASA keeps us waiting for an okay time. They are actually really nice as well and take care of all the paper works. The guy actually acknowledges that it shouldn't be a problem to take the dog to the cabin with us. We are relieved.

Ain't no mountain high enough...

The dog is pooped.

Today we crossed the infamous Elm mountain ridge between Königslutter and Erkerode in Lower Saxony, Germany. 15km with an ascent of 330m and a descent of 274m. Highest summit we climbed: Drachenberg 314m (muuaahahahahaaaa). Mountain hiking at its best. Anyway, taking P. and La Gina this was a fun walk and I guess today there is no more need to take the dog for a leak and she's not gonna bother us at all until early tomorrow morning... :)

You realize that the three of us actually arrived in Germany. There are lots of things to catch up with and tell you about. I just didn't have the time since we arrived here. So I am doing my very best to keep you updated.
