Südafrika - Einchecken oder nicht einchecken

31.01.2009 - Travel

Three weeks of vacation in South Africa together with Corinne! We experienced so much that I had to divide my report into weeks. As a base we were allowed to stay with Corinne's father in Durbanville and from there we were "guided" through half of South Africa. But everything in order, the adventurous vacation began already before the departure at the check-in.

Stress, stress, stress - as always before the vacations! Corinne's passport could not be found the night before, despite a long search. Wa-a-aaaa! But no matter - is still time until the departure tomorrow at 14:50. So we drove first time luggage check-in, they have fortunately open until 20:30. But the packing took longer... 20:00 at the airport but turned wrong (sh...Navü), wrong parking garage P6: No man, no signposts, no ticket machine. Crap. So right around to the barrier without ticket validate. Fortunately the barrier goes up. 20:15 finally the Bagash on the Rolli - it becomes scarce! 20:25: But the British Airways Checking 2 (not 1!) found. "Passport please...". Oh-no! Back home and tomorrow with the train the 23kg suitcase and the 22.6kg paraglider in the bus and train??? But no, not so bad. We leave our luggage at the airport in the luggage storage on recommendation of the info service employee (makes CHF 24.-) but never mind. Therefore, we can arrive tomorrow relaxed with hand luggage.

Next Day
